Verse 1:
Dm  G
Baby
            C  E
Empires crumble all the time
Dm       G
Pay it no mind
               C  E
You just happened to witness mine
Dm    G               C  E
Don't let all the light fall from your eyes
Dm    G
Come come
            C  E
Empires crumble all the time

Chorus:
A         F    G
How can a dismally typical Tuesday
D           F      G
Delivering blues with lead in its canopy
A          F      G
Scruff me pin me and let's make a man of me
D              F     G
Turn up the pounding of the hearts all around
A               F      G
And I'm bound to get busy with checking on the living
D                   F       G
And I'll wring out their hands and my eyes with the sobbing
A                               F#m
But how can a bland unremarkable typical Tuesday be Day of the Dead?

Verse 2:

Baby

Dm       G
Pay it no mind
               C  E
You just happened to witness mine
Dm    G               C  E
Don't let all the light fall from your eyes
Dm    G
Come come
            C  E
Empires crumble all the time
