Mad World Outlive Me

Tom: Am

Am/E  Am/B  C  F


[Verse]
              C
Feast on the labour
         G
Of your mind
             F
And you go hungry
                  C       G
And you won’t go blind

             Am
Feed on the pictures
         Am/B        F
Of all you’ve left behind
                        E
Knowing they are just pictures
                    Am   Am/B  C  Csus4  C
Still and sad and refined

F


[Pre-Chorus]
           C
It’s a mad world
                    G
To be stuck on the living
                F
And it’s a heartbreaker
                  C      G
To succumb to forgetting

                   Am
I keep wishing for something
       Am/B        F
And it gets in my way
              E
My path is a jungle
                     Am  Am/B  C  Csus4  C
It’s got too much to say


[Chorus]
   F
Outlive me outlive me
   Am    Am/B     C   Csus4  C  G
I love you too much
                   Am
Rubies and emeralds
     Am/B         C      Csus4  C
And sapphires and such

    F
Outlive me outlive me
   C    C/B    Am
I love you too much
E                  Am
Coal into diamonds
 Am/B      C    Csus4  C
Ashes and dust

F


[Verse]
            C
There is a fire
                G
In place of a stone
                F
It softens the letters
                        C    G
And it takes you back home

                   Am
Where once it was written
     Am/B      F
The lines we obeyed
               E
Now tenderly questions
                  Am  Am/B  C Csus4 C
The choices we’ve made


[Chorus]
    F
Outlive me outlive me
   Am  Am/B     C   Csus4  C  G
I love you too much
                    Am
Rubies and emeralds
     Am/B         C   Csus4  C
And sapphires and such

    F
Outlive me outlive me
   C    C/B    Am
I love you too much
E                    Am
Coal into diamonds
 Am/B      C    Csus4  C  F
Ashes and dust
