[Verse 1]
 Am                Em
You're all I ever wanted
                       G
So how come I'm still haunted
                           D
By the thoughts inside my head
     Am                        Em
You love me but no matter what you say
                      G
There's only one of two ways
                   D
That this is gonna end

[Pre-Chorus]
F         G         Dm         Am
 Someone dies or someone gets hurt
       F
But if one of us dies

[Chorus]
E7             C
 I hope I die first
Cause I don't wanna
         G
live without you
                    Dm
I don't wanna ever learn
                       Am
How to fall asleep without you
                C
Tell me what’s worse?
                   G
Losing you now or later
                       Dm
Maybe I can break the curse
                        Am
And I can be in love forever,
if I die

[Verse 2]
 C                     G
You're my fire and my safety
                    Dm
You never mean to break me
                      Am
And that's why I'm afraid
       C                    G
Cause someday, everybody's leaving
                              Dm
You'll promised that you'll stay
                              Am
But that's a promise you can't make

[Pre-Chorus]
F         G         Dm         Am
 Someone dies or someone gets hurt
       F
