Voice Intro:
Gm7
Here lies Charlie
C7 Fmaj7 D
You can tell it's him cause we put his name on the stone
Verse 1:
Gm
He kept his showers ice cold
G
Used eco-friendly lightbulbs
A
Rode his bicycle to work when the gasoline price rose
D
He'd judge with no pretense, fish on the weekends
Each morning, get up, do the Pledge of Allegience
Dm
Never swim in the ocean, for fear of shark attacks
A
Bi-monthly get his wife a rose with a card attached
D
Avoiding all the little things that were hard to ask
F# D
Had a car crash-- cardiac arrest, died of a heart attack
Em A
Golden escalator, all his friends and neighbors
D
Huddled there in prayer around the respirator
Am B
Catch you later, I'm off to see the man upstairs
A
They all look like ants from here
A
Stars and crystal chandaliers
Dm
There was an angel at the entrance
C
Checking off a guest list
F Dm
Charlie wasn't on it, and was ushered to the exit
G D
His heart sank, he was breathless
Chorus:
Dm
Excuse me, sir!
D A
There must be someone you've confused me for
Dm
If I could see someone who knew me or someone in uniform

I go to church on sunday, truly, usually more!

Screaming at the angels while they pushed him through the door!

Verse 2:
G D
Abandon all hope, all ye who enter
C
It was a horrifying sign, but sounded like a neat adventure
A C D
Far beyond the halos and the castles in the clouds
Dmaj Amaj A
Fatsos squealing, shackled with some apples in their mouths
Dm G7
Attention whores in padded bras hanging from extension cords
C A7
Tortured with the products from their favorite catalogs
A D
Here, we buy and sell a million kinds of Hell
Imagination is the limit to the devil's clientele
Em7 A
Up a dingy elevator, no televised debate
D A
Will save you from the Hell you paid for
Sorry but it's "Smell you later"
F#m
Side-stepped fate
B7
Went right for the gate
Em A
But you know the devil, he loves a good chase!
Dm D C
There was a demon at the entrance, making X's on a checklist
D
Who would kick you in the ass when you begged him for repentance
Dm D C
Those tempted by the senses with the cruelest of intentions
D A Dm
Charlie's heart sank, he was breathless

You can run from your demons until you are exhausted

One day you will have to stop and find out what they wanted
