C G
This is how it works It feels a little worse
Am F
Than when we drove our hearse Right through that screaming crowd
C G
While laughing up a storm Until we were just bone
Am F
Until it got so warm That none of us could sleep
C G
And all the styrofoam Began to melt away
Am F
We tried to find some words To aid in the decay
C G
But none of them were home Inside their catacomb
Am F
A million ancient bees Began to sting our knees
C G
While we were on our knees Praying that disease
Am F
Would leave the ones we love And never come again
C
On the radio
G
We heard November Rain
Am
That solo's really long
F
But it's a pretty song
C
We listened to it twice
G
'Cause the DJ was asleep
C G
This is how it works You're young until you're not
Am F
You love until you don't You try until you can't
C G
You laugh until you cry You cry until you laugh
Am F
And everyone must breathe Until their dying breath
C G
No, this is how it works You peer inside yourself
Am F
You take the things you like And try to love the things you took
C G
And then you take that love you made And stick it into some
Am F
Someone else's heart Pumping someone else's blood
C G
And walking arm in arm You hope it don't get harmed
Am F
But even if it does You'll just do it all again
C
And on the radio
G
You hear November Rain
Am
That solo's awful long
F
But it's a good refrain
C
You listen to it twice
G
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
