^GOh, I was on my way ^D7to Doing something else, y^Cou Prop my eyelids up with toothpick thou^D7ghts

G D7 C D [Verse 1]

^AmThursday, s^Gmaj7huffling feet on your c^Amemetery ^Gmaj7lawn ^AmWeeping ab^Gmaj7out your skin, in your ^Amsleep you just slid it^Gmaj7 off Just so you could get ^Amdressed up in ^Gmaj7this Your nightgown of ^Amoak, your r^Dibbons of ^Gmaj7roots Is there nothing you w^Amant from ^Gmaj7me now No help I could g^Amive but to lower you ^Gmaj7down?

[Chorus]

^GOh, your friends standing ^Dby, waving greedy good^Cbyes I've got nothing now that I want to s^Day You wouldn't talk back anyw^Gay And you know we won't ^Ddo what you wanted us ^Cto There ain't nothing here to celebra^Dte We're all worse off without y^Amou

[Verse 2]

^EmAt that f^Ameast in some two-star ^Ghotel I'm circling the r^Amoom and m^Dingling half-s^Gtunned

Nauseous with the truth of it all

^AmKnowing here the whole ^Gmaj7time, this won't really f^Aade Nah, it just stays in our sp^Gines

[Chorus]

^GOh but we're all shaking h^Dands, offering condolenc^Ces Stories of some envied y^Douth, less life-threatening, more m^Goot

And our eyes they all d^Drown, our tongues get wrung^Cmaj7 out Ain't nothing here for us to ^Dmaj7taste that ain't bitter alr^Geady

[Bridge]

They w^Carn ^Gus our re^Cmaj7servation is ^Amup, it just seems so c^D7ruel Like the p^Garasites that eat your t^Cmaj7houghts, your plot gets covered up By some^Amone who never even knew ^Dyou

(And that's how it ends) Am Dmaj6 Gmaj6 Am Dmaj6 Gmaj7 Am G Am D Gm [Chorus]

^GOh, then the curtain comes d^Down, the crowd it thins o^Cut Ain't no reason f^Dor - for us to s^Gtay And we all hurry h^D7ome 'cause it won't be l^Among, no it won't be ^Dmaj6long

[Outro]

'til we're in your p^Glaaaa^Dmaj6aaaaaaaa^Amaaaaa^Dce 'til we're in your p^Glaaaa^Dmaj6aaaaaaaa^Amaaaaa^Gce We^Bm're in your p^Glace
