Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Love is dead. Love is dead,
but I still can't get her out of my head,
so she'll be gone from now on and
I'll regret everything I've ever done.
She wasn't coming close to
what she was supposed to do.
It really doesn't matter,
still there's not a sadder
lie than I love you.
Singing la la la la love is dead
la la la la love is dead
that's why I'm sighing and crying and shaking my head
love is dead.
Love is sad. Life is bad
when you can't get what you could have had.
Days are blue, nights are black.
I'd do anything if I could have her back,
but I'm just a sap and
it's not gonna happen now.
It's cold dark and stormy
and there's nothing for me
out there anyhow.
Singing la la la la love is dead
la la la la love is dead
that's why I'm crying and lying awake in my bed
love is dead.
Emotional vertigo
was never supposed to happen this time,
but if she ever were to go back to
me there's nowhere I wouldn't climb.
Still out on this limb there's only me,
a damaged dim and lonely me,
stepping on my own toes
while I rattle my chain of woes.
[bridge. see notes below.]
I'm sighing and crying and shaking my head
I'm crying and lying awake in my bed
I can't get her outta my head
I can't get her outta my head
my head
my head
I just keep singing
la la la la love is dead
la la la la love is dead
that's why I'm crying and lying awake in my bed
love is dead.
cause i can't get her out of my head
for the bridge play the chords like this.
that's all she wrote.
