[Verse 1]
I could climb until I reach where angels reside
Ask around to find out where the junkies applied
You just up and left me on this rock all alone
It's my fault for knowing not what I should have known

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
My heart is dried up beating slow
Oh, oh
It's been deflating since you died
Since you died
You died

[Verse 2]
I could drop until I touch the sinister side
Visit all attractions flippin' back and aside
Still you leave me rotting on this rock all alone
It's my fault for knowing not what I should have known

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
My heart is dried up beating slow
Oh, oh
It's been deflating since you died
Since you died
You died

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
My heart is dried up beating slow
Oh, oh
It's been deflating since you died
Since you died
You died

[Verse 3]
I could climb until I reach where angels reside
I could drop until I touch the sinister side

[Chorus]
Oh, oh
My heart is dried up beating slow
Uh, oh
It's been deflating since you died
Since you died
You died
Died
You died
Died
You died

Alice in Chains

Alice in Chains are a Seattle-based rock band. They rose to international fame in the early 1990s as part of the ‘grunge’ movement. They are one of the most critically and commercially acclaimed acts of the 90s. Their first 3 studio albums all went multi-platinum and they have received 8 Grammy nominations for Best Hard Rock performance (sadly, never winning once).

Their unique sound comes from the harmonized vocals of co-founders Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, as showcased in some of their biggest songs like “No Excuses” from Jar of Flies, “Angry Chair” from Dirt and “Again” from the self-titled album. Cantrell also serves as the primary songwriter and guitarist of the band.

The band was never restricted to grunge. Cantrell believes it to be heavy metal; and indeed a lot of modern heavy metal bands cite Alice in Chains as an influence, including Metallica for Death Magnetic.
