When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes.
   G*    G/F#      E/A    G/F#  C#C#    BB   A augmentedA  G+G
His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep.

My mother lies alone on her back at night,
 G*    G/F#      E/A     G/F#  C#C#    BB   A augmentedA  G+G
Adding up hours till her demise, she counts herself to sleep.
BB    C#C#   D MajorD    G*    G/F#     E/A
When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds,
 G*     G/F#    E/A      G/F#  C#C#    BB   A augmentedA  G+G
I tell her I promise its fine, but she cries herself to sleep.
BB  C#C#      D MajorD  G*      G/F#    E/A
The men in black ties arrive at the house in surprise.
  G*      G/F#     E/A     G/F#   C#C#       BB   A augmentedA  G+G
To find a little girl by your side in the wood box where you're sleeping.

Interlude: La da da da da duh da duh da daa... dah x2

Bridge:

G+G    A augmentedA     BB      A augmentedA     G+G
I still see you inside of this God-awful house
   BB      A augmentedA   G+G
You move awfully quiet now
G+G      A augmentedA    BB A augmentedA  G+G
And I still feel you everywhere (repeat "everywhere" 0/3 times depending on which version you're playing)
   BB        A augmentedA         G+G
You told me this has always been worth living,
G+G     G+G       G+G      BB A augmentedA G+G
But what's really worth living   anymore?
