Verse 1/2: 



/                                /   (repeat intro) 
I'm gonna miss you, I'm gonna miss you when you're gone 

/                              / (repeat intro) 
She says I love you, I'm gonna miss hearing your songs 

Chorus 2: 

                    /            
I said "Please, don't talk about the end 

      /                      /        
Don't talk about how every living thing goes away" 

                  /                       / 
She said "Friend, all along thought I was learning how to take 

                   /    Emsus            
How to bend, not how to break, how to live, not how to cry 

                                   / 
But really I've been learning how to die, I've been learning how to die" 

Verse 2: 

Hey everyone, I've got no where to go 
The grave is lazy, He takes our bodies slow 

Chorus 2: 

And I said "Please, don't talk about the end 
don't talk about how every living thing goes away" 
I said "Friend, all along thought I was learning how to take 
How to bend, not how to break, how to live, not how to cry 
But really I've been learning how to die, I've been learning how to die, 
die, die 
I've been learning how to die 
I've been learning how to die"
