Acoustic Intro
Am F C G
As you sat on the bed, Moments from your end
Am F C G
Inconceivable dread, Inches from your head
F C E
I can't bear to imagine you
Am F C G
In that horror scene, One too sad to be
Am F C G
In my mind's eye I am there, Embracing you so scared
F G
Now you kill me too....You killed me too
C E
Decidedly willing to lie for you
A F
Absolutely willing to cry for you
C E
Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you
A F
A part of me will never know....

| Joey has a significant way to put themselves in other people's places in instances of tragedy. If you need further proof go listen to Bad Astronaut "The Passenger." | |

| How can nobody have commented on this. This is ofcourse about the suicide of Derrick Plourde, the original drummer. I have to give Lagwagon props on this album. The band actually matured really quick after Derrick's death. Sad day that was when Derrick took his life! | |
