[Intro]

D

You didn’t really die

G

You only went away

C

My drummer he saw you

A                       D

Buying supplies about a week ago

G                    C

A couple towns away

             A

South on the interstate



[Verse 1]

D

I gave him shit for not

G

Telling me sooner than he did

C

He said he thought I knew

A                                   D

He said everybody else has seen her too

G

I haven't been around that much

Or kept in touch with anyone or anything



[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

D

You didn't really die

G

Although it seems as if you did

C

Why would you have to hide

A                                    D

And who stayed on with you while you hid?

                  G

Through all those silent nights

C                             A

That silence sure can be real loud

Louder than anything

[Verse 3]

D

You didn't really die

G

So what am I do do with

C

The memories of ours

A                              D

I chronicled and buried in the back yard

         G

Dig them up today

C

Attach a note that says they're yours

A                             D

Leave them at the door of the supply store

G

And hope that when you come along

C

You bring yourself to read of them

A                                    D             G C

And wonder from precisely that there moment on...

Why would I want to die?
