Intro: A  A2  Dsus2  A  Esus4  F  A 


Verse 1:

A              A2                Dsus2             A 
  Shut down the gospel singers and      turn up the old heart-breakers 
A         Esus4             F                A 
  I'm dying      to tell you    that I'm dying here 
A             A2                Dsus2               A 
  Throw up the sickly joy and the       swell of the sweet self-loathing 
A               Esus4          F       A 
  I'm just dying       to be un---happy again 


Pre-Chorus:

Dsus2            A 
Oh,   love won't grow 
Dsus2                  A 
Oh,   it will build my home 



       A              Esus4 
And if happiness won't come to me 
            Dsus2       A2 
Hand me the nitrous gas 
A             A2 
Leave the acute warm heartedness 
Dsus2             A 
     Go where the joyless bastard is 
A        Esus4             F          A 
He's dying     to bring you   down with him 
A              A2 
Suck in the bright red major key 
Dsus2        A 
Spit out the blue minor misery 
A       Esus4             F          A 
I'm dying     to bring you   down with me 



Interlude:
 
Dsus2    A  Dsus2    A  Dsus2    A  Dsus2    A 
Oh----oh-oh, oh----oh-oh, oh----oh-oh, oh----oh-oh 



       A              Esus4 
And if happiness won't come to me 
            Dsus2       A 
Hand me the nitrous gas 
       A               Esus4 
If you keep all of your oxygen 
            Dsus2       A 
Hand me the nitrous gas 
       A              Esus4 
And if happiness won't live with me 
            Dsus2          A 
Think I can live with that 
        A               Esus4 
You can keep all of your oxygen 
            Dsus2       A 
Hand me the nitrous gas
