WHEN YOU DIED - The Menzingers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Half-step down (I think it's actually played on a baritone guitar,
but this is the tuning of the rest of the album)
For the G/F# chord I put there, just make sure that you go from the root on the
top strinG (3) down A half step (to 2); I play it like: 2-x-0-0-3-x

G C Em
I was on my way to heaven when you died
C D G Em
I was racing up the express lane I was cheating HOV lanes
G C Em
Made it to the gate in record timing
C D G Em
I quickly threw my hazards on, don't bother finding parking
Am G
I was on my to heaven when you died
G C Em
And I was dressed in all black in a hoax
C D G Em
That nobody would notice me, and the bolt cutters I was hiding
G C Em
Underneath my over sized jacket
C D G Em
I snuck around the back and broke you out when the guards weren't looking
Am G G/F#
I was on my to heaven when you died
Em C D
But then it was all over, they got us surrounded
G G/F#
They beat us with batons, cuffed us and threw us in the car
Em C D
When I wake up I wanna talk to a lawyer
G G/F# C
I demand a fair speedy trial
Em D

How do you make sure that something like this wont ever happen again?

But oh how can a perfect human run out of luck
C Em
When there's just so many other people screaming jive
Bm Em D G
And oh I can not help but fear the things that I can't control
C Em
The things I'll never ever know
