Verse:
       F                    Am
You drifted away, but she wanted to stay
       G                                      F
Even though she knows his feelings will never change
      F                          Am                
She waits and she waits just to hear her name
     G                               F
And those three words that mean everything

Pre-chorus:
 F                             Am
But deep down she's aware that
                                            G
That's something that will never reach her ear
     F                         Am
And deep down she's aware that
                                           G G7
That's something that she'll never live to hear

Chorus:
    F                   Am
So go ahead and kill me
                     G
As long as he's safe
    F                    Am
And go ahead and shoot me
                         G G7
As long as I can see his face

             
When I'm gone

Interlude: F Am C G

Verse:
     F           Am     G Csus2 G
She sees his face everyday
     F                     Am
And maybe one day he'll say
              G         G7
"I've always felt that way"

Pre-chorus:
 F                             Am
But deep down she's aware that
                                     G
That's something that will never reach her ear
     F                         Am
And deep down she's aware that
                                           G G7
That's something that she'll never live to hear

Chorus:
    F                   Am
So go ahead and kill me
                     G Csus2 G
As long as he's safe
    F                    Am
And go ahead and shoot me
                         G G7
As long as I can see his face

          
When I'm gone
F Am
           C  G 
When I'm gone

Bridge:
    F                        G
I forget about you over the weekend
   C                 G
Decide that I'm over it
          F               G
But the second I see your face again
  C                        G
It's like the match was relit (x2)

Chorus:
    F                   Am
So go ahead and kill me
                     G Csus2 G
As long as he's safe
    F                    Am
And go ahead and shoot me
                         G G7
As long as I can see his face
             C
