 Capo 3rd Fret
 Intro Am   E
            Am
 I wish I could feel like people feel
   E
 I wish I didn't have a heart
                  Am
 That sits like a stone in its jail of bones
 E
 Ready to be ripped apart
                 Dm           E
 But yesterday I felt a funny thing
 Am
 Maybe you know why
 F
 I'm losing the will
     E                  Am
 I'm losing the will to die
 I thought I was done, I was way beyond
 The solace of the sight of land
 No flash of distress in the blackness
 Everything beautifully planned
 But suddenly I see searchlights
 Maybe you know why
 I'm losing the will
 I'm losing the will to die
       F
 I've got pills and poisons
 E
 Hosepipes, knives
     Dm
 And ropes in rich supply
         E                 Dm
 But the notes I wrote are mouldy
 Dm                      
 And the inkwell's going dry
         F
 Cos I'm losing the will
      E                 Am
 I'm losing the will to die
 Instrumental break - Am      F       G
 Hooray! Hooray! It's Saturday
 Time to tie the noose
 All praise to you and your savagery
 The rope has another use
 So happy that I've got an aim in life
 Maybe you know why
     F
 I'm losing the will
     E                  Am
 I'm losing the will to die
     F      
 I'm losing the will
     E                  Am
 I'm losing the will to die
