Well, that's what dying's like (refrain) (Verse 4) Get high on ether when there's no one in the house Pretend it's the big one at the moment you pass out It's just rehearsal, but that's all that life allows But you practice dying Cause you're almost dead Practice dying now Transcriber Notes: I tabbed this out using the 16 Nudes version of Practice Dying. Listen to the song to get the feel for the rhythm. The chorus is a little tricky and I think the chords are correct. If not, post an update. ;) Peace, Del. www.TAB6.com
