Intro:

C F#m Gm C G G G G


Verse 1:
     Gm
Goodbye, nurses, these wounds will heal
       C
And there are worse things than waiting for a scar to appear
      Gm
I'm sick of grudges

In fact, I just feel ill and
  G            C
I'm hanging round 'til afternoon
G

Right now I'm mostly casting shadows


Chorus:
Gm          C     G
Life is short and unforgiving

I only fear the living
Gm          C     G
Life is short and unforgiving

I only fear the living


C F#m G C C F#m G C G G


Verse 2:
   Gm
Rhododendrons sent to a friend from some garden
    C
With a note saying “sorry that I couldn't be there”
       Gm
I know you're lonely and it's just not fair
    G             C
I could really use a pick me up
G
I'm not complaining, I'm just always tired


Chorus:
Gm          C     G
Life is short and unforgiving

I only fear the living
Gm          C     G
Life is short and unforgiving

I only fear the living


Verse 3:
     Gm
I smelled something like my mother's perfume
      C
It made me miss myself and early mornings
     Gm
Well, I'm not the type to think half-full
     C
I think it's what's left, so I'll enjoy it
    G
Oh, I saw dying font back-page

Full-stop incorporate
   Gm
The bottom half's ad space price beats word print
  C     Gm     G
And it meant nothing

I only fear the living


Chorus:
Gm          C     G
Life is short and unforgiving

I only fear the living

C F#m G C C
