Capo: 3
The Graveyard near the house - The Airborne Toxic Event Capo 3 Intro: C G C F
CThe other day, when we were walking by tGhe graveyard near the house, You asked me Cif I thought we would ever dFie. And if liCfe and love both fade sGo predictably, We've made Courselves a kind of predictable lFife.
And so I picCtured us like corpses, lying sGide by side in pieces, In some daCrk and lonely blood under a bFow. We looked so siClly there, all decomposed, half tuGrned to dust, In tattered clothes, but we prCobably look just as silly nFow.
Bye bye bCye bye, bye bye to all this dogGged innocence. I can't preCtend that I can tell you what is goFing to happen next, Or how to bCe. But you have Cno FideEma abGout mCe, do Emyou?
And it lCeft me to wonder if people wiGll ever know each other By just stuCmbling around like strangers in the daFrk. 'Cause someCtimes you seem so strange to me, I mGust seem strange to you. We're like two acCtors playing our paFrts.
Did you memoCrize your lines? 'Cause I did. Here's tGhe part where I get so mad, I tell you CI can't forget the paFst. You get so qCuiet now, and you seem, somehow, Like a lGost and lonely child. And you just hCope that the moment won't lFast.
Bye bye bCye bye, bye bye to all this doGgged innocence. I can't preCtend that I can tell you what is goFing to happen next, Or how to bCe. But you have Cno FideEma abGout mCe. You have Cno FideEma abGout mCe, do yEmou?
So there's alwCays a way aroEmund. There's somCething tying our feet to the grEmound, A moment passed, we hate how it souFnds.
And it seCems a litFtle lEmess pGrofouCnd, Like we're aCll goFing the sEmame wGay dCown. Yeah we're aCll goFing the sEmame wGay doCwn, I'm just trCying Fto wEmrite it Gall doCwn.
'Cause I write sCongs, and you write leGtters, We are tiCed like two, in tethGers. And we tCalk and read, and laugh anGd sleep, at nightC in bed, toGgether. And you waCke in tears sometGimes, I can see the thouCghts flash across your eGyes. They say &quoCt;Darling, will you Gbe kind? Will you be a good maCn, and stay beGhind if I get oFld?"
And then the letAmters all pass through my heGad, With the wEmords that GI was toCld, About the faAmding flesh of life aGnd love, the faiEmlures Gof the boCld. I can liAmst each crippling feGar like I'm reEmading frGom a wCill.
And I'll deCfy FeveryEmone and loGve you stCill, I will carCry yFou with Emme up evGery hiCll. And if you Amdie before I dGie, I'll carve your nEmame out oGf the sCky, I'll fall asAmleep with your memGory and drEmeam of whGere you lCie.
It may be betCter to move on, and to let lGife just carry on, And I may be wrCong. But still, I'll tFry.
'Cause it's beAmtter to loGve whether you wEmin or lGose or dCie, Yeah, It's bAmetter to lGove whether you Emwin or lGose or dCie. It's beAmtter to loGve, and I will lEmove you 'tGil I dCie.
It's a beautiful song, hope you like the chords!
