Intro
E5

Verse 1
E5
It takes a long time to kill a man

Fifty-five years at least

Until he breaks down

Starts to look underground 
                            A5
To go off, and get him some peace

I want to die a lot quicker then that

If that’s my only way out 

I’ve been counting up the coast

Getting up on that cross

I want to know what this is all about

Chorus
       B5              A5          E5 
Father Time steals our days like a thief
           B5                    A5              E5
There’s no price that I wouldn’t pay to get some relief
     C#m7             A5     
I’ve become the empty shell 
     B5                  A5   
Of a man I don’t like so well
       B5                A5    
I am a living, breathing hell
                      E5
Come on and resurrect me

Verse 2
E5
I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine

It didn’t seem to help

She’s got a pretty face with her wedding lace
                             A5      
But I’m still waking up with myself
E5
I know what it means to choke it down

Down until your legs get weak

I know what it’s like on Saturday night

To be alone in a crowded street

Chorus

Bridge
          B5 A5
Resurrect me
          E5      
Resurrect me
          B5 A5
Resurrect me
          E5      
Resurrect me
          C#m7
Resurrect me
          A5       
Resurrect me
                      E5
Come on and resurrect me
