Why Would I Want to Die by Grandaddy
Standard tuning
Capo on 3
You ll have to listen for the specific timing of the chords, this is only approximate.
[Intro]
You didnât really die
You only went away
My drummer he saw you
Buying supplies about a week ago
A couple towns away
South on the interstate
[Verse 1]
I gave him shit for not
Telling me sooner than he did
He said he thought I knew
He said everybody else has seen her too
I haven t been around that much
Or kept in touch with anyone or anything
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
You didn t really die
Although it seems as if you did
Why would you have to hide
And who stayed on with you while you hid?
Through all those silent nights
That silence sure can be real loud
Louder than anything
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
You didn t really die
So what am I do do with
The memories of ours
I chronicled and buried in the back yard
Dig them up today
Attach a note that says they re yours
Leave them at the door of the supply store
And hope that when you come along
You bring yourself to read of them
And wonder from precisely that there moment on...
[Outro]
Why would I want to die?
Why would I want to die?
Why would I want to die?
Why would I want to die?
Why would I want to die?
