[Intro]
Gm Bb Eb Cm
Gm Bb Eb Cm
Eb Bb Eb Cm
Eb Bb Eb Cm
Is this all in the divine plan?
Eb Bb Eb Cm
Ma gave birth in a broken down van
Gm Bb
I don't want to live, I don't want to die
Eb Cm
I've been too afraid to take a step towards living my life
Gm Bb
In between the fence, frozen in defense
Eb Cm
Eternally preserved in crystalline like Miss Havisham
[Verse 1]
Cm F Bb Eb
Oh, my brother you'll soon be a man
Cm F
Next to you, I'm just a boy
Bb Eb
Trapped like Peter Pan
[Chorus]
Gm Bb
I don't want to live, I don't want to die
Eb
I keep a Colt .45 in my drawer
Cm
If I change my mind
Gm Bb
Unpredictable, syringe and spoonful
Eb
Eyes were blazing fire
Cm
Like a dragon from the underworld
[Verse 2]
Cm F Bb Eb
Oh, my father, the beast has burned your land
Cm F
Golden sheers to tend the flock
Bb Eb
Cut off your right hand
[Chorus]
Gm Bb
I don't want to live, I don't want to die
Eb
I ruled over all the land
Cm
With a scepter in my mind
Gm Bb
Power was my guest, in absolute jest
Eb
Christopher Robin informed me
Cm
Rabbit was a common pest
Gm Bb
Terror of the mind, wiped me out in time
Eb
Death was as persistent as
Cm
Frau Blucher in Young Frankenstein
[Outro]
Cm F Bb Eb
Oh, my mother, I've got nothing left
Cm F
Send for me to greet the king
Bb Eb
And turn myself in
Gm Bb Eb Cm
