Thirty hours to live, how shall I spend it?

I don't have to stay and die like cattle

I could change my name and ride up to Seattle

Here's an option that I like
Eb                               A7 (up a half-step at a time until /E)
Spend these thirty hours getting freaky

Yeah, I need it hard

I'm a dead girl walking

I'm in your yard
C5              Gm(5)
I'm a dead girl walking
Eb5                  Cm(5)
Before they punch my clock
Bb5                   Gm(5)
I'm snappin' off your window lock
Eb5             F5                  Gm          
Got no time to knock, I'm a dead girl walking...

Bb/D            C/D             D5  
Sorry, but I really had to wake you;
         Bb/D         C/D              D5       
See, I decided I must ride you till I break you.
Bb                               
'Cause Heather says I gots to go;
Dm7                 Dm6          
You're my last meal on death row.
Eb5                                  A7 (up a half-step at a time until /E)
Shut your mouth and lose them tighty-whities!  Come on!

[Chorus]
  Eb5             
Tonight I'm yours,
C5              Gm(5)
I'm a dead girl walking!
    Eb5          
Get on all fours,
C5                  Gm(5)
Kiss this dead girl walking!
Eb5                  Cm(5)
Let's go, you know the drill;

I'm hot and pissed and on the pill.
Eb5             F5                  Gm      
Bow down to the will of a dead girl walking!

[Bridge]
        Ab                      
And you know, you know, you know
Eb                           
It's 'cause you're beautiful.
Ab                         
You say you're numb inside,
Eb                
But I can't agree.
        Cm      Bb     
So the  world's unfair,
        Ab         Eb      
Keep it locked out there...
             F         
In here it's beautiful.
                F#        
Let's make this beautiful!
