D#m         G#m
My heart is paralyzed,
C#          F#
My head was oversized,
B             G#m              A#sus4  A#
I’ll take the high road like I should.
D#m            G#m
You said, it’s meant to be
C#            F#
That it’s not you, it’s me,
B              G#m            A#sus4 A#
You’re leaving now for my own good.

          A#
   That’s cool,
   But if my friends ask where you are
   I’m gonna say…

Chorus:
               B
     She went down in an airplane,
     F#
     Fried getting suntanned.
   C#                 D#m
     Fell in a cement mixer
              D#m  
     Full of quicksand.
     B
     Help me, help me,
     F#                 Fm    A#
     I’m no good at goodbyes.

               B
     She met a shark under water,
     F#
     Fell and no one caught her,
   C#                D#m
     I returned everything
             D#m  
     I ever bought her.
     B
     Help me, help me,
     F#             A#
     I’m all out of lies
                         D#m
     And ways to say you died.

My pride still feels the sting,
You were my everything,
Some day I’ll find a love like yours.
(A love like yours.)
She’ll think I’m Superman,
Not super minivan.
How could you leave on Yom Kippur?

   That’s cool,
   But if my friends ask where you are
   I’m gonna say…

Chorus:
     She was caught in a mudslide,
     Eaten by a lion,
     Got run over by a crappy
     Purple Scion.
     Help me, help me,
     I’m no good at goodbyes.

     She dried up in the desert,
     Drowned in a hot tub,
     Danced to death at an east side
     Night club.
     Help me, help me,
     I’m all out of lies
     And ways to say you died.

      F#                    F#maj7  
   I wanna live a thousand lives with you,
     B                           C# 
   I wanna be the one you dying to
    D#m   C#
   Love,
  F#             B      D#m   C# 
   But you don’t want to.

          A#
   That’s cool,
   But if my friends ask where you are
   I’m gonna say…

          A#
   That’s cool,
   But if my friends ask where you are
   I’m gonna say…

Chorus:
     She went down in an airplane,
     Fried getting suntanned,
     Fell in a cement mixer
     Full of quicksand.
     Help me, help me,
     I’m no good at goodbyes.

     She met a shark under water,

                         B
     And ways to say you died.
