A# A# F F Gm Gm
Turn away if you could get me a drink of water
D#m D#m
Cuz my lips are chapped and faded
A# A#
Call my Aunt Marie

Help her gather all my things
D#m D#m
And bury me in all my favorite colors
D# D# D#m D#m
My sisters and my brothers

Still I will not kiss you

Cuz the hardest part of this is leaving you

But counting down the days to go

And I just hope you know

About this song: Cancer

Representing an intriguing departure from the style presented on previous albums, this song is a vocal/piano duet up until half way through the song where the rest of the band kicks in. Gerard has said that this was to prevent the song from being too depressing. Read more on Last.fm.
