VERSE 1 (Plucking)
                  C                                    Am
It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume 
                                          F
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own 
                                   F
I don't know if I'm home 
         C
Or if I lost the way into your room 
    Am
I'm spiraling into my doom 
    F                                                      F
I'm feeling half alive but I know one day 
                  (strum)F
You and I will be free, 


CHORUS:
  Am                               F                     C
To live and die by our own rules, Free...
F
Despite the fact that men are fools. 
 C                   F                                         Am
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try 
         F
And save me. 
      C                               F
It's okay that we're dying, 
                              Am      F             F
But I need to survive tonight, tonight. 

Pluck: C Am F F


Verse 2
        C   
Well excuse me while I get killed softly, 
Am                                                           F
Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay 
      F
At least 'til yesterday, 
                            C
You know you got me off my highest guard, 
 Am
Believe me when I say it's hard. 
            F
We'll get through this tonight 
                                  F                                  F
And I know one day you and I will be free 


CHORUS:
  Am                               F                     C
To live and die by our own rules, Free...
F
Despite the fact that men are fools. 
 C                   F                                         Am
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try 
         F
And save me. 
      C                               F
It's okay that we're dying, 
                              Am      F             F
But I need to survive tonight, tonight. 


BRIDGE PART 1: (Shots)
F                                                       F
And you touch my hand ever so slightly 
                       
(Girl we're not ready for this yet) 
F                                                       F
And the deadly look she cast upon me 
                    F                       F
I won't regret, I won't regret                     
                    F                       F
I won't regret.   I won't regret... 

BRIDGE PART 2:
                      C                     F
And I was trying to disappear, 
                                               F
But you got me wrapped around you 

I can hardly breathe without you 
             C                        F
I was trying to disappear 
                                          F
But I got lost in your eyes now, 

You brought me down to size now. 


CHORUS: (Plucking)
