Fm
Those who are dead are not dead
                           Cm  C7
They're just living in my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well, oh

Chorus:
C#                       G#
Time is so short and I'm sure
                         C
There must be something more

Those who are dead are not dead
They're just living in my head, oh
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well, oh

You didn't get to heaven but you made it close

You didn't get to heaven but you made it close
You didn't get to heaven but you oh oh
