Chords with lyrics
Verse:
G+G C majorC G+G E minorEm
the ghosts of the palliative care ward have been following me
G+G C majorC G+G E minorEm
whispering through the clear plastic lining over their dead bodies
G+G C majorC G+G E minorEm
their diapers and their feces still on the hospital sheets
G+G C majorC G+G E minorEm
they're dead but they're still up walking around and they say to me
Chorus:
G+G
"death is pretty sweet"
E minorEm C majorC G+G
we're in the valley of the dead
E minorEm C majorC G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
cremated bodies in the air and the rotten ones underneath
E minorEm C majorC
where we harvest the food we eat
E minorEm G+G E minorEm G+G
I'm not scared of death because death's all over me
Verse:
C majorC G+G E minorEm
I've been spending my time hanging out in hospital wards
G+G C majorC G+G E minorEm
bringing flowers and love letters to my quadriplegic baby
G+G C majorC G+G E minorEm
the ache of his colostomy bag and his blood transfusions
G+G C majorC G+G E minorEm
his medication makes him so sleepy but he still whispers to me
Chorus:
G+G
"death is pretty sweet"
E minorEm C majorC G+G
we're in the valley of the dead
E minorEm C majorC G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G
bodies turn to liquid in the heat, the particles crawl into our pores
E minorEm C majorC
and they soak into our wooden floors
E minorEm G+G E minorEm G+G
I'm not scared of death because death's all over me
E minorEm G+G E minorEm G+G
