[Opening]
I, your name, do solemnly swear
not to off myself,
think about offing myself,
or consider thinking about offing myself
without reaching out for help
after listening to this song.
[verse 2]
Sometimes I see them on the [G]sidewalk
biking on the [G]wet chalk
[verse 3]
Spelling out their [Em]names
And I feel [Em]insane
[verse 4]
Cause I know it’s just a [C]game
that I’m playing with my [C]brain
[verse 5]
I don’t see her but I [D]see her
and I know it isn’t [D]real
[verse 6]
But I fake it any [G]way
Pull a smile and [G]wave
[verse 7]
Nod and look [Em]away
Wait for it to [Em]fade
[verse 8]
But it happens all the [C]time
And people say it’s [C]fine
[verse 9]
My roommate says they’re [D]killing us
But they’re killing [D]themselves
[verse 10]
And I’m surrounded by the
[G]Dead girls, on the road.
[Em]Dead girls, on my phone.
[verse 11]
[C]Dead girls, where do they [D]go?
[verse 12]
All of the fucking
[G]Dead girls, all around.
[Em]Dead girls, in my town.
[C]Dead girls.
[Closing]
I wanna [D]know.
[C]Dead girls, where do they [D]go?
