Pretending That You're Dead

[Intro]
D  A  Em  G
D  A  Em  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
     D
Can't see through my letterbox
 A                   Em
For piles of letters
     G
And I can't get out my door
D
 The bailiffs come
             A
But I don't care 'bout that
Em               G           D     A
 And everybody's asking me tonight
Em           G                  D     A
 Everybody's asking me if I'm alright
Em                     G
 But I don't have the guts to say it
 
 
[Chorus]
G
 Is it really her and him?
D                            A
 Do you think that they are doin' it?
Em               G
 I'm lyin' in my empty bed
D                        A
 Pretending that you're dead
 
 
[Instrumental]
D  A  Em  G
 
 
[Verse 2]
    D                       A
I write the news from everybody's lips
   Em                              G
I saw you on the walkway with his hands on your hips
       D                              A
And I called it out, and said, "With my best friend?"
         Em                        G
You said, "You should probably leave"
  D     A
Tonight,
Em           G                  D     A
 Everybody's asking me if I'm alright
Em                     G
 And I don't have the words to say
 
 
[Chorus]
G
 Is it really her and him?
D                            A
 Do you think that they are doin' it?
Em               G
 I'm lyin' in my empty bed
D                        A
 Pretending that you're dead
G
 Is it really her and him?
D                            A
 Do you think that they are doin' it?
Em               G
 I'm lyin' in my empty bed
D                        A      D    A
 Pretending that you're dead
 
 
[Outro]
Em           G                  D      A
 Everybody's asking me if I'm alright
Em           G                D       A    Em
 Everybody's asking me if I'm alright
G           D     A    Em    G    D
 I'm not alright
