Playing Dead Chords

The whole song is basically 3 chords. Enjoy:



D                       H
When I was playin' dead I'd lie down.
           G                              D
I wouldn't move though everything else was...
    D                                       H
The swingset kid's playin' catch with their dads...
                              G
No one noticed yet that I was gone.
               D
Then she came along...

    D                 H
And love, I got you didn't I?
           G
I got you didn't I?
       D
I got you...
    D                H
And love, I got you didn't I?
           G
I got you didn't I?
       D
I got you...

When I was alive I didn't know why I died.
I guess I thought everything was dead.
Your hair is red; in other lights it's black;
And when you laugh,
it brings me back...

And love, I got you didn't I?
I got you didn't I?
I got you...
And love, I got you didn't I?
I got you didn't I?
I got you...

When I was playin' dead;
I'd lie down.
I wouldn't move;
Though everything else was...
The swingset;
Kid's playin' catch with their dads...
No one noticed yet...

When I was alive
I didn't know why I died.
I guess I thought everything was that way.
Your hair is grey, in other lights it's black...
And when you laugh...
still brings me back.

And love, I got you didn't I?
I got you didn't I?
I got you...
And love, I got you didn't I?
I got you didn't I?
I got you...

You got me...
