E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| WHEN YOU DIED - The Menzingers E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tuning: Half-step down (I think it's actually played on a baritone guitar, but this is the tuning of the rest of the album) For the G/F# chord I put there, just make sure that you go from the root on the top strinG (3) down A half step (to 2); I play it like: 2-x-0-0-3-x G G C Em I was on my way to heaven when you died C D G Em I was racing up the express lane I was cheating HOV lanes G C Em Made it to the gate in record timing C D G Em I quickly threw my hazards on, don't bother finding parking Am G I was on my to heaven when you died G C Em And I was dressed in all black in a hoax C D G Em That nobody would notice me, and the bolt cutters I was hiding G C Em Underneath my over sized jacket C D G Em I snuck around the back and broke you out when the guards weren't looking Am G G/F# I was on my to heaven when you died Em C D But then it was all over, they got us surrounded G G/F# They beat us with batons, cuffed us and threw us in the car Em C D When I wake up I wanna talk to a lawyer G G/F# C I demand a fair speedy trial Em D Where do people go when they die?

Em D G C How do you make sure something like this wont ever happen again?
