         THE SWELLERS

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO: D MajorD

VERSE:
 D MajorD          A augmentedA      G+G
This is for all my friends and family.

Something I need you to understand.
     B minorBm
The accident,
               G+G
The overdose,the suicide whatever it was.
               E MajorE
Malpractice, the homicide, etcetera.
                  G+G
Something took me sooner than we planned.


PRE-CHORUS:
F# minorF#m         D MajorD  A augmentedA G+G
  Now take these steps for me.
             A augmentedA
It might not be what you wanted,
         G+G
But it's what I need.


CHORUS:
    B minorBm
No funeral.
                     G+G
There's not a goddamn dime you need to spend.
                   E MajorE
I won't be there to thank you in the end.
               G+G
Put me in the ground to decompose
              D MajorD
And inside of your heart always.

INSTRUMENTAL:

BREAK:
 D MajorD         E minorEm   B minorBm
This is for all my friends.
 D MajorD       E MajorE    B minorBm  D MajorD
Who are these motherfuckers?
 D MajorD   A augmentedA  G+G  B minorBm D MajorD
Behind my eyes,
 G+G     A augmentedA
they never knew me in (life).
E MajorE
No. no casket please.
F# minorF#m
I'll rot out with the leaves.
G+G
No, clothes for me to wear.

The dirt won't care.
     E MajorE
Don't, scatter any ashes.
 F#F#
Scatter all my things
   G+G
To, the deserving ones who really need.
E MajorE
No, production here,
F#F#
So assholes walk around
                 G+G
and try to get your sympathy and say,

"I'm glad it wasn't me."


CHORUS:
        B minorBm
And with that said,
              G+G
don't say a prayer for me today.
                   E MajorE
God and I, we never really spoke anyway.
                    G+G
I tried sometimes, but he never wrote back.
    B minorBm
And I know
                 G+G
there's no headstone where I'm lying.
                E MajorE
So where do you go when you're crying?
   B minorBm          G+G
Just hold on to a memory of me


OUTRO:

inside of your heart always.

inside of your heart always.
            G+G
inside of your heart always.
            D MajorD
inside of your heart always.
            A augmentedA
inside of your heart always.
           B minorBm G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA  C# minorC#m D MajorD G+G
inside of your heart
