[Intro]
Em    A7  2x
 
(Em  A7)
I got the letter you left under my door
 
Knocked me on my ass to the floor
 
Never knew two words could take such a bite
 
It said, "Dear Jon, Hello. Goodbye."
 
 
(Em  A7)
I saw your car parked outside Motel Cascade
 
Saw two shadows go to town on the shade
 
I can't believe my own lyin' eyes, oh my
 
It better be your girlfriend I saw going down some other guy
 
 
B                           A
You told me you loved me, 'til death do us part
B                                          D
So tell me there's a tombstone where there used to be a heart
 
 
             Em
You said you couldn't live without me
   A
So why aren't you dead?
           Em                       A
Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed
        Em                           B
There's just one thing that I can't get through my head
             A
You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?
 
(Em A7)
 
(Em A7)
I cut your face out of our old photographs
 
And all the junk you left behind's in the trash
 
Well, I hoped you were a goner for sure
 
Well, there's been a resurrection, yeah, a miracle cure
 
B               A
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
       B                          D
If you can't trust the livin' baby who can you trust?
 

             Em
You said you couldn't live without me
   A
So why aren't you dead?
           Em                       A
Instead of six feet under you're in someone else's bed
        Em                           B
There's just one thing that I can't get through my head
             A
You said you couldn't live without me so why aren't you dead?
 
(Em  A7)
 
B               A
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
       B                             D
If you can't trust the livin' baby who can you trust?

              Gm                          C
Instead of laying you out I'm laying down on the line
     Gm                              D
You spend my hard-earned money, you left me in the red
             C                   (D Eb E F F# G)
You said you couldn't live without me.... so why aren't you dead?
(Gm  C7)
