Live it Out (Acoustic)

From acoustic session

Intro: Hammer on strings on open Am chord from high to low

Verse:

			
On the day we were supposed to leave
			     
You changed your mind at the station

You had a nice apartment

There was a good bar downstairs

Your old friend worked there

		
I'll go anyway, I'll go anyway
		       
They won't refund the ticket

It's a good story

Chorus:

				
But I don't want to live it alone
		
Crash to take a chance
		 (hammer on  string)
I wanna live it out
		   
I know I'm already dead
		    
No concrete adversity
		      
Only traps of our own actions
		     (hammer on  string)
How we wanted it to be
				
Now I'm never gonna see you again
	    
You checked out

Verse:

Vertabrae by vertebrae
Roll your way out of a coma
Look up, the nurse is smiling
What luck, the nurse is me
Your old body is dead
Your body's dead, you're a word instead
In my sleep I repeat it
It's a good story

Chorus:

But I don't want to live it alone
Crash to take a chance
We were gonna live it out
Look at you, you're already dead
How will you remember me
Digging ditches out of boredom
Said you would never leave
Now you're never gonna be here again
You turned off

Outro: Use chorus chords

Dum dum dum dum dum
Sha la la la la
Dum dum dum dum dum

End on G or C
