Chords with lyrics

Verse:

C majorC C C majorC

C majorC      E minorEm
It's a mass grave
DmDm        C majorC
A augmentedA dollar-fifty resting place
C majorC      E minorEm
On the north face
DmDm           G+G
there's a rope I've gotta climb
A minorAm       E minorEm
I'm a stone's throw
FF         E minorEm
from everyone I love and know
A minorAm      E minorEm
But I can't show
  FF      G+G
up looking like I do

C majorC     E minorEm
In an old suit
DmDm             C majorC
my hair is slicked up back nice and smooth
C majorC      E minorEm
In a court room,
DmDm           G+G
sweat rolling down my back
A minorAm     E minorEm
It's a bad dream
FF         E minorEm
I have it seven times a week
A minorAm      E minorEm
No it was not me
FF          G+G   C majorC
But I'm the one who has to die

Verse:
C majorC       E minorEm
Needs a cold draw
DmDm         C majorC
to slow his tachycardia
C majorC     E minorEm
In a dark bar
DmDm          G+G
the world just melts away
A minorAm      E minorEm
And he feels fine
FF           E minorEm
If he can just lose track of time
A minorAm      E minorEm
It's a good sign
FF         G+G
when he can't stay awake

C majorC     E minorEm
On a slow day
DmDm           C majorC
the rain against the windowpane
C majorC    E minorEm
of the cafe
DmDm            G+G
She spills the coffee grounds
A minorAm       E minorEm
And the same thought
FF          E minorEm
hits her like a cinder block
A minorAm       E minorEm
Life's an odd job
FF           G+G      C majorC
that she don't got the nerve to quit

C E minorEm DmDm G+G

Verse:

C majorC       E minorEm
Yeah it's just there
DmDm            C majorC
At the bottom of those spiral stairs
C majorC        E minorEm
It's the world's fair
DmDm        G+G
The future's on display
A minorAm       E minorEm
In the still night
FF          E minorEm
They turned on the electric lights
A minorAm       E minorEm
And the crowd cried out
FF        G+G    C majorC
Everyone looked so amazed

Outro:

C majorC FF C majorC G+G
A minorAm G+G FF
