Verse 1:
    Gmaj7             A       Bm                     Gmaj7
The little boy at the airport waving his father goodbye
                 A       Bm                   Gmaj7
The lover in the bedroom saying, "I'm sorry I lied"

The small plastic window fills with iridescent light
                 A          Bm            Gmaj7
The Devil and an angel with their eternal fight

The spider in the kitchen tryna stay out of the cold
    Gmaj7                A         Bm                        Gmaj7
The parents' girl in the bathroom, wearing her grandmother's gold
                 A        Bm                 Gmaj7
Church bells are ringing, somebody must have died
                A      Bm                 Gmaj7
The eyes of the animal frozen in the headlights

    Gmaj7           A         Bm                     Gmaj7
The skinhead in the handcuffs blowing his mother a kiss
                   A       Bm                       Gmaj7
The student at the protest wiping the blood off her lips
                 A           Bm               Gmaj7
The fireworks exploding, the clock strikes midnight
                 A         Bm                   Gmaj7
And I'm sat here watching, gripping the wheel so tight

Chorus:
                 Em7
What a wonderful life

And I don't want to die, die
