[Verse]

C                     Am
  It'll take you too
C            F
  Take a long time
C                     Am
  Limbs will disconnect
  C    G   F     Am
  Like the phone lines
 
[Verse]

C                   Am
  Keep the water on
C        F
  Keep it running
C                     Am
  I'm in the other room
  C G     F  Am
  Nothing happened
 
[Pre-chorus]

C
Make it quick
       Am
Make it quick
        F        Em     Dm        
Make it quick so I can't see 
                 G
the scythe and it's sheath
 
[Chorus]

      F                  Dm
Don't cry, we're bound together
Am       G        C      F
Each life runs its course
     F              Dm
I'll see you in the next one
     Am      G         C    F
Next time you know I'll call
 
[Verse]

C                     Am
  I'll put your record on
C        F
  Keep it spinning
C             Am
  Under the LEDs
  C   G   F   Am
  Til I'm sea sick.
 
[Pre-chorus]

C
Nothing lasts
       Am
Nothing lasts
        F        Em               
Nothing lasts, I know, 
     Dm 
I've seen the scythe,   
      G
and its sheath
 
[Chorus]
      F                  Dm
Don't cry, we're bound together
Am       G        C      F
Each life runs its course
     F              Dm
I'll see you in the next one
     Am    G           C    F
Next time I know you'll call
 
[Bridge]
    Am
    call,
             C
I'll be your girl
             F       
You'll be in silk and 
             C
I'll wear my furs
G         Am
We can go out
            C
I feel your mouth
        F
Open me up
           C
Butcher my heart
              F      
Please let me die on  
                     Em G
the street where you live
 
[Chorus]

      F                Dm
Don't cry, lie here forever
Am      G       C      F
Let life run its course
     F              Dm
I'll be here in the next one
     Am      G         C    F
Next time you know I'll call
 
      F                  Dm
Don't cry, we're bound together
Am       G        C      F
Each life runs its course
