The Gutter (acoustic)

Over my dead body
The stars will let you know
It's over
Now if I had my way
I would leave you here to waste your final days
Buried beneath

Oh please rest assured this was not my fault
And time is getting short
So I'll be here if you want me

Oh my darling can you hear?
My words so pure they burn your lying ears

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, oh you'd better
Call your mother
All our hope is lost down in the gutter
Down in the gutter

When you're in your bed
Sleeping toward the void
So deep it feels like death
Oh don't you wake

Oh my love, I hear life holds nothing for us beyond our time in here
Oh don't you dare turn your back on me

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, oh you'd better
Call your mother
All our hope is lost down in the gutter

Baby over my dead body
Baby over my dead body
Baby over my dead body

We're still counting on you

We'll keep counting on you

Mother, come on out
Show me what the world is all about
We'll keep counting on you

Mother come on out
Show me what the world is all about
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting

And so the story goes
When I leave will you let me go?
When the words stop coming
And the fear starts setting in slow

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, oh you'd better
Call your mother
All hope is lost
Down in the gutter
