It took me a few hours to complete the song, but here it is! Sometimes it's quite difficult what they're playing exactly. Band: The Airborne Toxic Event Song: The Graveyard Near The House Album: All At Once Chords: C: x32010 C/B1: x2x013 C/B2: x2x010 C/B3: x2x00x G1: 32003x G2: 320003 G3: 3x00(0)x (The (0) means that it doesn't matter if you play this note whether or not) F: 133210 (how they play the F) Am: x02210 (Sounds like the F chord!) Capo 3 Intro: C G1 C/B1 Am -Verse 1

The other ^Cday when we were walking by the gr^G1aveyard near the house C/B1 Am You asked me if I thought we would ever die And if l^Cife and love both fade so pr^G1edictably C/B1 Am We've made ourselves a kind of predictable lie

And so I p^Fictured us like corpses Lying side ^G2by side in pieces C/B2 Am In some dark and lonely plot under a bough We looked so s^Filly there all decomposed Half t^G2urned to dust in tattered clothes C/B2 Am Though we probably look just as silly now

-Chorus

Bye, bye, ^Fbye, bye, bye, bye to all this d^G2og-eared innocence F C C/B2 Am I can't pretend that I can tell you what is going to happen next or how to be C C/B2 Am G3 F(Remember the high E-string) But you have no i---de-a about me Do yo^Cu?

-Verse 2

And it le^Cft me to wonder if pe^G1ople ever know each other C/B1 Am Or just stumble around like strangers in the dark 'Cause some^Ctimes you seem so strange to me, I ^G1must seem strange to you C/B1 Am We're like two actors playing our parts

Did you mem^Forize your lines? 'Cause I did Here's the par^G2t where I get so mad C/B2 Am I tell you I can't forget the past You get so qu^Fiet now and you seem somehow like a l^G2ost and lonely child C/B2 Am And you just hope that the moment won't last

-Chorus

Bye, bye, ^Fbye, bye, bye, bye to all this d^G2og-eared innocence F C C/B2 Am I can't pretend that I can tell you what is going to happen next or how to be C C/B2 Am G3 F \ But you have no i---de-a about me / 2x Do yo^Cu?

-Bridge

So there's ^Falways a way aroun^Cd There's som^Fething tying our feet to the gr^Cound C/B2 Am A moment passed we hear how it sounds

C C/B2 Am G3 F Then it seems a little less profound C C/B2 Am G3 F Like we're all going the same way down C C/B2 Am G3 F Like we're all going the same way down C C/B2 Am G F I'm just trying to write it all down -Verse 3

'Cause I write s^Congs and you write le^G2tters We are ti^Fed like two in te^G2thers And we ta^Clk and read, and lau^G2gh and sleep At ni^Fght in bed tog^G2ether And you wa^Cke in tears so^G2metimes I can see your tho^Fughts flash across your^G2 eyes They say d^Carling will you be ^G2kind, will you be a ^Fgood man and stay behi^Gnd C/B2 Am If I get old?

-Outro 1

And then the le^Ftters all pass th^G2rough my head C C/B2 Am With the words that I was told About the fa^Fding flesh of lif^G2e and love C C/B2 Am The failures of the bold I can l^Fist each cri^G2ppling fear C C/B2 Am like I'm reading from a will

C C/B2 Am G3 F And I'll defy everyone and love you still C C/B2 Am G3 F I will carry you with me up every hill Am C/B3 C C/B3 Am And if you die before I die I'll carve your name out of the sky Am C/B3 C C/B3 Am I'll fall asleep with your memory and dream of where you lie -Interlude F C C/B2 Am Maybe better to move on and to let life just carry on and I may be wrong -Outro 2

Still I tr^Cy Because it's be^Ctter to l^G2ove, whether you ^Amwin or l^G3ose or d^Amie Because it's be^Ctter to l^G2ove, whether you ^Amwin or l^G3ose or d^Amie It's b^Cetter to l^G2ove, and I will l^Amove you ^G3'til I di^Ame

Ends on C
