AmD7
Today would be a good day to die
AmC/D-Am
Don't get me wrong, I adore this life
EmAm
But as they check the engine on this little tiny plane
D7AmC/D-Am
I think, my god, I wouldn't change a single thing
EmAm
If today the propeller should just fall into the sea
D7AmEmD-Am
I'd go tumbling down with a certain kind of peace
AmD7
Pretty lady showing us the life vest
AmC/D-Cm
Doesn't scare me much the thought of using this
CHORUS:
D7Am
Today would be a good day to die
C/D-Am
Ahh, ah, ah
EmAmD7
I'd like another sixty years, if something wills it so
AmC/D-Am
Make a lot of music and some babies too
EmAm
If I should cross over on this ride
D7AmC/D-D7
I know they'd greet me there on the other side
AmC/D-Cm
Grandmother meet me on the other side
CHORUS:
D7Am
Today would be a good day to die
C/D-Am
Ahh, ah, ah
C/D-GC/D-G
Ah-ha, ah-ha
AmC/D-Am
Ah-ha, ha, ha
C/D-GC/D-G
Ah-ha, ah-ha
AmC/D-Em
Ah-ha, ah-ha
Am
Spent the night with a new lover in my bed
D7AmC/D-Am
Good the things we get to keep only for an instant
EmAmD7
I'm not saying this life hasn't also hurt me so
AmC/D-D7
Always this awkwardness, it makes me grow
AmC/D-Am
Always this awkwardness, it makes me grow
CHORUS:
D7Am
Today would be a good day to die
C/D-Am
Ahh, ah, ah
C/D-GC/D-G
Ah-ha, ah-ha
AmC/D-Am
Ah-ha, ha, ha

Ah-ha, ah-ha
AmC/D-Em
Ah-ha, ah-ha

EmAm
This year my highs have been higher, I've reached the lowest kind of low
D7AmC/D-Am
Then I fell through the bottom and sorta started to float
EmAm
What's this bird in my chest, what's this weight in my arms?
D7AmC/D-Am
When I think of your hands, it makes me tremble some
D7AmC/D-Am
When I think of your hands, it makes me tremble some
CHORUS: (## fade to end ##)
D7Am
Today would be a good day to die

Ah-ha, ha, ha
C/D-GC/D-G
Ah-ha, ah-ha
AmCC/D-Em
Ah-ha, ah-ha
