The ^Bmevil, it s^Epread like a f^Aever a^Ehead It was^Dmaj7 night when you ^Edied, my fir^Bmefly ^BmWhat could I have ^Esaid to ^Araise you from the ^Edead? Oh, coul^Dmaj7d I be the ^Esky on the Fourth of J^Bmuly?

[Chorus 1]

"Well, you ^Edo enough ta^Alk ^EMy little ha^Awk, ^Ewhy do you^Dmaj7 cry? Tell me, ^Ewhat did you l^Aearn from the ^ETillamook ^Aburn? Or the F^Eourth of ^Dmaj7July?

We're all gonna die." Bm E A E Dmaj7 E Bm E A E Dmaj7 E Bm [Verse 2]

Si^Bmtting at the ^Ebed with the h^Aalo at your h^Eead Was it ^Dmaj7all a di^Esguise, like Junior High? ^Bm Where eve^Bmrything was fi^Ection, fu^Ature, and pre^Ediction ^Dmaj7Now, where am ^EI? My fading supply ^Bm

[Chorus 2]

"Did you g^Eet enough l^Aove, ^Emy little do^Ave? W^Ehy do you ^Dmaj7cry? And I'm so^Erry I l^Aeft, but it ^Ewas for the ^Abest Though it n^Eever felt ^Dmaj7right

My little Versailles." Bm E A E Dmaj7 E Bm E A E Dmaj7 E Bm [Verse 3]

The ho^Bmspital a^Esked should the b^Aody be c^East Befor^Dmaj7e I say goo^Edbye, my star in the sky ^Bm S^Bmuch a funny th^Eought to w^Arap you up in c^Eloth Do you ^Dmaj7find it all r^Eight, my dragonfly? ^Bm

[Chorus 3]

"Shall we l^Eook at the m^Aoon, ^Emy little l^Aoon? ^EWhy do you ^Dmaj7cry? Make the m^Eost of your l^Aife, wh^Eile it is r^Aife Wh^Eile it is l^Dmaj7ight

Well, you^C#m do enough ^F#mtalk ^C#mMy little ^F#mhawk, ^C#mwhy do you^Dmaj7 cry? Tell me, ^C#mwhat did you l^F#mearn from the T^C#millamook ^F#mburn? Or the F^C#mourth of ^Dmaj7July?

We're all gonna die." Bm E A E Dmaj7 E We're all gonna die. Bm E A E Dmaj7 E We're all gonna die." Bm [Outro]

We're all gonna d^Bmie ^E ^Dmaj7 We're all gonna d^Bmie ^E ^Dmaj7 We're all gonna d^Bmie ^E ^Dmaj7 We're all gonna d^Bmie ^E ^Dmaj7

We're all gonna die
