Buried Alive By Love

 
[Intro]
[Em]
 
[Verse 1]
[Em]      [C]                  [Em]          [C]
Again the burden of losing rests upon my shoulders
[Em]      [C]            [Em]        [C]
And its weight seems unbearable
[Em]           [C]
Your tomb is where your heart is,
[Em]         [C]
I should have told her
[Em]            [C]               [Em]
But within me hid a secret so terrible
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   [Am]                          [Em]
To cry is to know that you're alive
       [Am]                     [Em]
But my river of tears has run dry
  [Am]              [Em]
I never wanted to fool you, no
      [D]
But a cold heart is a dead heart
                                            [C]
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
 
[Chorus]
[C]
If I should die before I wake
                      [Em]  [D]
Pray no one my soul to take
[C]                  [D]
If I wake before I die,
                    [Em]   [D]
Rescue me with your smile (darlin')
[C]
If I should die before I wake
                             [Em]  [D]
There ain't no one my soul to take
[C]                  [D]
If I wake before I die,
                    [Em]
Rescue me with your smile
 
[Verse 2]
[Em]          [C]                  [Em]            [C]
The kiss of vanity blessed me with a spiritual murder
[Em]          [C]           [Em]       [C]
And fed the gods of war insatiable
[Em]           [C]
Your home is where the dark is
[Em]            [C]
I should have told her
[Em]          [C]         [Em]
Embrace the fire indestructible
 
[Pre-Chorus]
[Am]                            [Em]
To die is to know that you're alive
       [Am]                       [Em]
But my river of blood won't run dry
  [Am]              [Em]
I never wanted to lose you, no
      [D]
But a cold heart is a dead heart
                                            [C]
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
 
[Chorus]
[C]
If I should die before I wake
                      [Em]  [D]
Pray no one my soul to take
[C]                  [D]
If I wake before I die,
                    [Em]   [D]
Rescue me with your smile (darlin')
[C]
If I should die before I wake
                             [Em]  [D]
There ain't no one my soul to take
[C]                  [D]
If I wake before I die,
                    [Em]
Rescue me with your smile

[Verse 3]
       [Am]                         [Em]
Oh, to cry is to know that you're alive
       [Am]                     [Em]
And my river of tears has run dry
  [Am]              [Em]
I never wanted to fool you, no
      [D]
But a cold heart is a dead heart
  [D] (quietly)
[A] deserted soul is gone
 
[A] cold heart is a dead heart
       [D] (stop)                                 [C]
And it feels like I've been buried alive by love
 
[Chorus]
[C]
If I should die before I wake
                      [Em]  [D]
Pray no one my soul to take
[C]                  [D]
If I wake before I die,
                    [Em]   [D]
Rescue me with your smile (darlin')
[C]
If I should die before I wake
                             [Em]  [D]
There ain't no one my soul to take
[C]                  [D]
If I wake before I die,
                    [Em]
Rescue me with your smile
 
[Em]
oh, your smile (x7)
 
[Outro]
