D Em Every couple of years now, a doctor says I'm sick
DPulls out a brand new bag of tricks
EmAnd then they lay it on me
D EmAnd at first, it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain
D EmAnd I don't like to complain, but I'm saying sorry
[Pre-Chorus]
G DWhen I met you, I thought I was damaged goods
GHad a fucked up childhood
DAnd there's poison in my brain and in my blood
[Chorus]
G F#mIf you knew it was the end of the world
EmCould you love me like a child?
DCould you hold me in the dark?
G F#mIf you knew it was the end of the world
EmWould you like to stay a while?
DWould you leave when it gets hard?
[Verse 2]
D EmSo I ran into the clinic and I asked to see the man
DWith his white coat and his stethoscope
EmLike a snake around his hand
D EmAnd I told him I'm not bitter 'cause I finally found a lover
D EmWho's better for my liver, and now I'll finally recover
[Pre-Chorus]
G DWhen I met him, I thought I was damaged goods
GFrom a real bad neighborhood
DSo we wrestled in the mud
G DAnd I told him he could stay right where he stood
GBut I don't know if he should
D'Cause once my God destroys the flesh, then there's the flood
[Chorus]
G F#mIf you knew it was the end of the world
EmCould you love me like a child?
DCould you hold me in the dark?
G F#mIf you knew it was the end of the world
EmWould you like to stay a while?
DMaybe we could build an ark
[Bridge]
G F#mWe could sail on broken driftwood through the sopping wet terrain
Em DAnd count the buildings and the bodies getting swallowed by the rain
G F#mAnd in the water, there's the doctor who didn't listen to my claim
EmWhat a shame, he's circling a drain
[Outro]
G DWhen I met you, I said I would never die
G DBut the joke was always mine 'cause I'm racing against time
G F#m EmAnd I know it's not the end of the world, but could you pick me up at 8?
D'Cause my treatment starts today
