[Verse 1]
Am                               E7/G#
 So it's me and you against the world
                           Gsus4
And we won’t make it out alive
                          D7/F#
'Cause everyone wants to sink their
teeth and stop our breathing, I
Am                           E7/G#
 I know we like to hurt each other
                        Gsus4
Just to see if we can cry
                          D7/F#
But I will never fcking leave you,
cross my heart and hope to die

[Pre-Chorus]
F                      E7
 They say there's no chance in hell
F                         E7
 That this is gonna last
[Chorus]
    Am
But I’ll still love you
      E7/G#
even after we decay
          Gsus4
When our bodies start to wither
             D7/F#
And there's bugs inside our brains
    Am
And I'll still want you when
        E7/G#
 we'rе six feet in the ground
          Gsus4
When our bones arе cold and rotten
          D7/F#
I promise I'll still
            F    E7
be around

[Verse 2]
         Am
They're telling us our
              E7/G#
 future is a dead end (Dead end)
                           Gsus4
But fuck it, I'll be your corpse bride
                            D7/F#
They're not invited to the wedding
 (You’re not invited to the)
      Am
I’m tracing all the tears that
             E7/G#
you'll be shedding
(You’ll be shedding)
       Gsus4
A funeral's the only party
           D7/F#
They won't use our names to get in

How to play Decay: key, chords and progression

These are Decay chords by Nessa Barrett on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Decay by Nessa Barrett is written in A minor (no sharps or flats) and moves through 6 chords: Am, E7/G#, Gsus4, D7/F#, F and E7.

Listen for Am – E7/G# – Gsus4 – D7/F# (i – V7 – VIIsus4 – IV7 in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Em, B7, Dsus4, A7, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
