[D] Every couple of years now The [Em] doctor says I'm sick
Pulls out a [D] brand-new bag of tricks And then they lay it [Em] on me
Well, at [D] first, it was my brain Then a [Em] skeleton in pain
And I [D] don't like to complain But I'm saying, " [Em] Sorry"
When I [G] met you, I thought I was damaged [D] goods
Had a fucked up child [G] hood And there's poison in my [D] brain and in my blood
If you [G] knew it was the end of the [F#m] world
Could you love me like a [Em] child? Could you hold me in the [D] dark?
If we [G] knew it was the end of the [F#m] world
Would you like to stay a [Em] while? Would you leave when it gets [D] hard?
So, I [D] ran into the clinic And I [Em] asked to see the man
With his [D] white coat and his stethoscope Like a [Em] snake around his hand
And I [D] told him I'm not bitter 'Cause I [Em] finally found a lover
Who is [D] better for my liver And now I'll [Em] finally recover
When I [G] met him, I thought I was damaged [D] goods
From a real bad neighbor [G] hood So we wrestled in the [D] mud
And I [G] told him he could stay right where he [D] stood
But I don't know if he [G] should 'Cause once my god destroys the [D] flesh, then there's the flood
If you [G] knew it was the end of the [F#m] world
Could you love me like a [Em] child? Could you hold me in the [D] dark?
If we [G] knew it was the end of the [F#m] world
Would you like to stay a [Em] while? Would you leave when it gets [D] hard?
We could [G] sail on broken driftwood through the [F#m] sopping wet terrain
And count the [Em] buildings and the bodies Getting [D] swallowed by the rain
And in the [G] water, there's the doctor who didn't [F#m] listen to my claim
Oh, what a [Em] shame he's circling the [D] drain
When I [G] met you, I said I would never [D] die
But the joke was always [G] mine 'Cause I'm racing against [D] time
And I [G] know it's not the end of the [F#m] world
But could you pick me up at [Em] 8:00? 'Cause my treatment starts to [D] day
