Intro:
D MajorD G# minorG#m
D MajorD G# minorG#m A augmentedA

Verse 1:
      G+G          G# minorG#m
There is a car parked where the block begins
       A augmentedA
And there are people singing praises
      D MajorD D/C# B minorBm   A augmentedA
Say, "It's all because of him"
        G+G         G# minorG#m
And there is a bird perched on a frayed, wet wire
       A augmentedA
And his voice sings out for a lover
     D MajorD D/C# B minorBm   A augmentedA
But it's covered by the choir
  G+G               A augmentedA
Of voices reaching way beyond the rafters
    G+G                 A augmentedA
With devotion, they perform these sacred tasks
   G+G                  A augmentedA
They cross themselves and offer up their checkbooks
    G+G              A augmentedA
Slight suffering is not too much to ask

Chorus:
N.C.            D MajorD
Besides, we all are making money
            A augmentedA
And we are all f**king alone
               G+G
And we don't know what we are doing
             A augmentedA
Maybe just buying us some hope
              D MajorD
Because we know that we are lonely
             A augmentedA
Yeah, lonely, that's for sure
            G minorGm
And the older ones are coughing
            Amaj7Amaj7
And the older ones are dying
         E MajorE G+G
Maybe we are all dying

Interlude:
D MajorD G# minorG#m
D MajorD G# minorG#m A augmentedA

Verse 2:
     G+G        G# minorG#m
I pass a graveyard on my way to work
      A augmentedA
Today I saw two dozen white roses
   D MajorD   D/C# B minorBm    A augmentedA
On a fresh new mound of dirt
   G+G         G# minorG#m
And I wondered about the occupant
     A augmentedA
When the darkness finally swallowed him
  D MajorD D/C# B minorBm   A augmentedA
Was he calm and content?
     G+G               A augmentedA
Or was he sweating in a struggle to keep breathing
    G+G                 A augmentedA
Ripping apart the sheets that dressed his bed
G+G               A augmentedA
Crying out loud for someone to help him
    G+G                 A augmentedA
And collapsing on his back, all pale and dead?

Chorus:
N.C.            D MajorD
Maybe it's me who's this unstable
             A augmentedA
Always obsessed about the end
               G minorGm
Why can't I let what happens happen?
             A augmentedA
And just enjoy the time I spend
             D MajorD
Oh, how I wish it was so easy
                 A augmentedA
But when there is no point to anything
          G minorGm
It can get a bit confusing
          D MajorD
Why is that I keep going?
          E minorEm G+G
Why is that we keep going?

Outro:
D MajorD G# minorG#m x4
G# minorG#m G#dimG#dim
