When you're

 D         G
One year ago with
            A
a flower in hand
          G
One year ago we
wrote our names
        D  
in the sand The
           G
wind would blow
            A   G
your summer hair
 D         G
Once easy love now
you’re making it
A
rough You know I
G
try you say it’s
        D  
never enough You
          G
left with ease
           A   G
and didn’t care

Bm
What used to
 D  
seem like heaven
 G     D    A
feels like hell

Chorus:
          D
I wanna breathe
      D  
with ease again
         G
I wanna get some
          A
fucking sleep again
         D
You only ask
             D  
forgiveness after
            G
it’s gone wrong
           D
I need to get
    D  
upstate again
           G
I need to get
              A
my head on straight
               Bm
again You only get
             A
redemption when
you’re dead
     G
and gone

D    D     G
whoa   whoa
A
When you're
dead and gone
D    D     G
whoa   whoa
A
When you're
dead and gone

Ten years from now we'll be tired and old
Ten years from now we won't ever leave home
Singing "I'll be there for you"
(Ten years from now)
Give me the one and only reason
that could make me believe
You were everything I want,
but not the thing that I need
It's hard to say, it's sad but true

What used to seem like heaven
Feels like hell

Chorus

Em       G
Nothing left
        D  A
here to say
Em
Nothing to
G   D    A
celebrate
Em       G
Nothing left
        D  A
here to say
Em
Nothing to
G   D    A
celebrate

Chorus:
I wanna breathe with ease again
I wanna get some fucking sleep again
You only ask forgiveness after it’s gone wrong
I need to get upstate again
I need to get my head on straight again
You only get redemption when you’re dead and gone
You only get redemption when you’re dead and gone
Oh

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
(When you're dead and gone)
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
When you're dead and gone
