Verse 1:

E minorEm   A augmentedA     G+G    A augmentedA
  On a walk in a fragile state
E minorEm    A augmentedA      G+G    G+G  D MajorD
  Weird angle coming over the wire
E minorEm   A augmentedA      G+G    A augmentedA
  Back home we got girls in braids
        G+G     A augmentedA        C majorC           C majorC D MajorD
  And they're on roller skates, and they roll any way they like

E minorEm     A augmentedA     G+G      A augmentedA
  From my town I can always look down
E minorEm       A augmentedA      G+G      G+G    D MajorD
  Down from my nose to the fish in the barrels
E minorEm      A augmentedA    G+G   A augmentedA
  But in the wiles of human life
     G+G    A augmentedA     C majorC          C majorC D MajorD
  There are pity nights and ray of gentle lights


Chorus 1:

C majorC      G+G  G+G D MajorD E minorEm
  The dead alive


Verse 2:

E minorEm   A augmentedA     G+G    A augmentedA
  Monuments were awfully dense
E minorEm    A augmentedA    G+G      G+G    D MajorD
  I flew by in a daze on the freeway
E minorEm    A augmentedA      G+G     A augmentedA
  He can whine of our different times
   G+G    A augmentedA       C majorC           C majorC D MajorD
  But me, I'm fine with the mirrors this far away

E minorEm     A augmentedA      G+G     A augmentedA
  With the pills in our bodies to function
E minorEm      A augmentedA      G+G       G+G  D MajorD
  Rain gonna fall on the hills where we hide
E minorEm     A augmentedA       G+G      A augmentedA
  Wash the blood and the guts to the ocean
G+G      A augmentedA      C majorC         C majorC D MajorD
  Leave the pike making everything alright


Chorus 2:

E minorEm   A augmentedA   C majorC     A augmentedA
  So tonight, dance and cry

  The dead alive
