      G                            C                  G
Is it wicked not to care when they say that you're mistaken
         C               G                 D
Thinking hopes and lots of dreams that aren't there? 
      G                             C            G
Is it wicked not to care when you've wasted many hours 
        C            G             D
Talking endlessly to anyone that's there?
Am
I know the truth awaits me
                                D
But still I hesitate because of fear
 
         G                              C              G
Skipping tickets making rhymes, is that all that you believe in?
        C                G        D
Wearing rags to make you pretty by design
        G                           C                G
Rusting armour for effect, it's not fun to watch the rust grow
    C              G                D
For it will all be over when you're dead
 
Am Am D x2
 
         G                                   C               G
Counting acts and clutching thoughts, by the river where the moss grows 
     C               G               D
Over rocks the water running all the time
      G                           C                    G
Is it wicked when you smile, even though you feel like crying
     C                   G           D
Even though you could be sick at any time?
 
Am
But if there was a sequel
Am
Would you love me as an equal?
Am                          D
Would you love me until I'm dead?
 
G G C G C G D  x2
 
Am
If there was a sequel 
Am
Would you love me like an equal? 
Am                          D
Would you love me until I'm dead?
 
Am
If there was a sequel 
Am
Would you love me like an equal? 
Am                          D
Would you love me until I'm dead?
                           G
Or is there someone else instead?

Great version, thanks! One minor suggestion: I think there is a second chord in the last line. Would you [Am]love me til I'm [D]dead Or is there [C/D]someone else in[G]stead | G | C | G | C | G | C | G
