Faking My Own Death Chords

[Intro]
D  G  Bm
D  G  Bm
 
 
[Verse 1]
  D          G           Bm
I just wanna say that I’m sorry in advance,
D                G
Count on me like clockwork,
   Bm
It won’t work,
D                G
The only promise I can make,
       Bm
Is I’m changing all my plans,
    D            G       Bm
And you’ll never see me  again.
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                   G       Bm
I’m  warning  you it’s over  before it began,
D                G
We’re  diving in headfirst,
   Bm
In reverse,
D                          G
You’re swimming through my wake,
        Asus4                 A
And I’m slipping through your hands,
    Bm           G       D   A
And you’ll never see me again.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
E                G
Typical, it’s so cyclical,
      E7
I got one foot out the door,
            A                 G
But I don’t fight it anymore.
 
 
[Chorus]
D/F#            E
Don’t hold your breath,
           D/F#   G
I’m faking my own death,
     D/F#           E
I’ll drop a burning match,
                         D/F#     G
And burn the bridge that takes me back.
    D/F#          E
I’m putting it to rest,
           D/F#   G
I’m faking my own death,
D/F#        E
Three years passes,
               D/F#     G  D/F#  E
And I’m rising from the ashes,
           D/F#     G     D/F#   E
I’m rising from the ashes.
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                   G
I’m stuck repeating history,
      Bm
And I just can’t help myself,
D                    G              Bm
It’s almost like I’m always someone else,
D                         G
There’s nothing you could say to me,
   Asus4          A
In sickness or in health,
Bm        G       D   A
I hate it just as well.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
E                G
Typical, it’s so cyclical,
      E7
I got one foot out the door,
            A                 G
But I don’t fight it anymore.
 
 
[Chorus]
D/F#            E
Don’t hold your breath,
           D/F#   G
I’m faking my own death,
     D/F#           E
I’ll drop a burning match,
                         D/F#     G
And burn the bridge that takes me back.
    D/F#          E
I’m putting it to rest,
           D/F#   G
I’m faking my own death,
D/F#        E
Three years passes,
               D/F#     G  D/F#  E
And I’m rising from the ashes,
           D/F#     G     D/F#   E
I’m rising from the ashes,
            D/F# G  D/F#  E
I’m missing in   action,
      D/F#  G  D/F#  E  D/F# G
Three years passing.
 
 
[Chorus]
D/F#            E
Don’t hold your breath,
           D/F#   G
I’m faking my own death,
     D/F#           E
I’ll drop a burning match,
                         D/F#     G
And burn the bridge that takes me back.
    D/F#          E
I’m putting it to rest,
           D/F#   G
I’m faking my own death,
D/F#        E
Three years passes,
               D/F#     G  D/F#  E
And I’m rising from the ashes,
           D/F#     G     D/F#   E
I’m rising from the ashes.
 
 
[Outro]
E  D/F#  G  D/F#  E
