I was fourteen, my brother was twenty,
         C#         B
When my dad sat me down, and told me you'd left me,
F#        C#                B
I never listened when they called you crazy,
F#      C#           B
I see so much of you in me lately,

I wrote a song for you
And it's called "Hide and Seek"
You never heard it but I, I got it tattooed on me
And I'd love to see you sitting in your chair
Smoking away, beautifully unaware

Chorus:
  F#                C#      B
I wonder what it's like to die,
F#             C#       B
Sometimes you cross my mind,
              F#
Well that's a fucking lie,
               C#        B
'Cause you're on my mind all of the time,
   F#               C#      B
I wonder what it's like to die,

Got in the taxi after my London show
And your favourite song came on the radio
I cried a little, then I stopped
Oh, you know I can't hide it
I miss you so much

It was Christmas day when my mum found you
She puts on a brave face,
but I can see right through
But your mind was beautiful, unusual, so loveable
But you were beautiful, unusual, so loveable

Chorus:
I wonder what it's like to die
Sometimes you cross my mind
Well that's a fucking lie
'Cause you're on my mind all of the time
I wonder, what it's like to die
