ZZ Ward
Til the Casket Drops
Intro
[Dm]
Verse 1
[Dm] [A]
It was the coldest night of the year,
[C] [G]
Snow-covered street lamps and Belvedere,
[Dm]
The moon was just a sliver,
[A]
The light was fading,
[C]
The war was on its way,
[G]
And we were waiting,
[Bb] [A]
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
[C] [Bb]
So I answered with only just one reply,
Chorus
[Dm] [Bb]
Till the casket drops,
[Gm] [A]
Till my dying day,
[Dm] [Bb]
Till my heartbeat stops,
[Gm] [A]
Till my legs just break,
[Dm] [Bb]
Whoa, oh, whoa,
[Gm] [A]
whoa, whoa, oh,
[Dm] [Bb]
Whoa, whoa, oh,
[A]
Till the casket drops,
Verse 2
[Dm] [A]
A house made out of glass will surely shatter,
[C] [G]
So we built a fortress of red bricks and ladders,
[Dm]
The ground, it started shaking,
[A]
The bombs are falling,
[C]
We could've walked away,
[G]
We had a warning,
[Bb] [A]
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
[C] [Bb]
So I answered with only just one reply,
Chorus
[Dm] [Bb]
Till the casket drops,
[Gm] [A]
Till my dying day,
[Dm] [Bb]
Till my heartbeat stops,
[Gm] [A]
Till my legs just break,
[Dm] [Bb]
Whoa, oh, whoa,
[Gm] [A]
whoa, whoa, oh,
[Dm] [Bb]
Whoa, whoa, oh,
[A]
Till the casket drops,
Bridge
[Dm]
So lay your burden down, baby,
[C]
Lead me out the door,
[Gm]
We can't escape this ricochet,
[A]
I'm ready for this war,
[Dm]
So lay your burden down, baby,
[C]
Lead me out the door,
[Gm]
We can't escape this ricochet,
[A]
I'm ready for this war,
Chorus
[Dm] [Bb]
Till the casket drops,
[Gm] [A]
Till my dying day,
[Dm] [Bb]
Till my heartbeat stops,
[Gm] [A]
Till my legs just break,
[Dm] [Bb]
Till the casket drops,
[Gm] [A]
Till my dying day,
[Dm] [Bb]
Till my heartbeat stops,
[Gm] [A]
Till my legs just break,
[Dm] [Bb]
Whoa, oh, whoa,
[Gm] [A]
whoa, whoa, oh,
[Dm] [Bb]
Whoa, whoa, oh,
[A] [Dm]
Till the casket drops
