Well here we are again,
G (320003@1)                     DIt's (xx0232@1)always such a pleasure,

Remember when you tried to kill me twice?
G (320003@1)                     COh, (x32010@1)how we laughed and laughed,
G (320003@1)                     DExcept (xx0232@1)I wasn't laughing,
G (320003@1)                     C (x32010@1)              G (320003@1)               B (x2444x@1)              
Under the circumstances I've been shockingly nice.

G (320003@1)                     DSo (xx0232@1)I could live forever,
G (320003@1)                     C (x32010@1)              G (320003@1)               B (x2444x@1)
