By The Way by Love And Death
By The Way
Tuning: Drop G# (G#,D#,G#,C#,F#,A#,D#)
Notes: I play it on a 7-string, the song is actually played on a 6-string
baritone. The tuning is the same though so you can play it on either
one.

My life, your death
I've been contemplating
And I let you go
As you disappeared
I didn't see it standing there
I didn't see it fall apart
And everything was so unfair
I had to walk away to get it right
And by the way
I'm doing alright, and you don't know
What I had to give to walk away and live again
I'll always miss you and
And by the way
I think about you, and the memories are never gonna leave
I know I'll see you there with me
Where we will always be alive
You're gone, I'm here
It's completely unfair
And my gifts, your scars
I will carry now
Did you see me standing strong
Dying with a broken heart
From your fatality?
So why'd you have to go, why did you die?
And by the way
I'm doing alright, and you don't know
What I had to give to walk away and live again
I'll always miss you and
And by the way
I think about you, and the memories are never gonna leave
I know I'll see you there with me
Where we will always be alive
I don't know how to go on
I hate you didn't make it, I'm so devastated
I don't know how to go on
I'm holding onto memories, dying in my misery
I don't know how to go on
I've never felt pain like this
I don't know how to go on
Tell me how to go on
And by the way
I'm doing alright, and you don't know
What I had to give to walk away and live again
I'll always miss you and
And by the way
I think about you, and the memories are never gonna leave
I know I'll see you there with me
Where we will always be alive
