Intro: Am-Em-C (x2)
Am
R.I.P. to my youth
C
And you could call this the funeral
Em
I'm just telling the truth
G
And you can play this at my funeral
Am
Wrap me up in Chanel inside my coffin
C
Might go to Hell and there ain't no stopping
Em
Might be a sinner and I might be a saint
G
I'd like to be proud, but somehow I'm ashamed
Am
Sweet little baby in a world full of pain
C
I gotta be honest, I don't know if I could take it
Em
Everybody's talking, but what's anybody saying?
G
Mama said if I really want to, then I can change, yeah yeah
Am
R.I.P. to my youth

If you really listen, then this is to you
Em
Mama, there is only so much I can do
G
Except for you to witness, for to worship me too

Tell my sister don't cry and don't be sad
C
I'm in Paradise with Dad
Em
Close my eyes and then cross my arms
G
Put me in the dirt, let me dream with the stars

Throw me in a box with the oxygen off

You gave me the key and you locked every lock

When I can't breathe, I won't ask you to stop
G
When I can't breathe, don't call for a cop
Am
I was naive and hopeful and lost
C
Now I'm aware and driving my thoughts
(Just play the chords Am-C-Em-G over and over)
What do I do? What do I do?
I don't believe it if I don't keep proof
I don't believe it if I don't know you
I don't believe it if it's on the news or on the Internet
I need a cigarette
