              Intro Em  D  Bm  Em 
 
Verse 1:
 
           Em              D 
Everybody dies, surprise, surprise 
                    Bm              Em 
We tell each other lies, sometimes, we try 
                 Am               D 
To make it feel like we might be right 
    D7            Em  D  C7M 
We might not be alone 
     Em  D  C7M 
Be alone 
 
Verse 2:
 
            Em                      D 
"Everybody dies," that's what they say 
                 Bm 
And maybe, in a couple hundred years 
         Em 
They'll find another way 
              Am               D 
I just wonder why you'd wanna stay 
              Em  D  C7M 
If everybody goes 
                 Em  D  C7M 
You'd still be alone 
 
Verse 3:
              Em               D 
I don't wanna cry, some days I do 
        C7M 
But not about you 
            Em            D 
It's just a lot to think about 
              C7M 
The world I'm used to 
     D              Em 
The one I can't get back 
    D              C7M 
At lеast not for a while 
              Em                D 
I sure have a knack for seein' lifе 
            C7M 
More like a child 
             Em                 D 
It's not my fault, it's not so wrong 
          C7M 
To wonder why 
           Am                  C7M 
Everybody dies, and when will I? 
 
Verse 4:
 
           D 
You oughta know 
                    G7M 
That even when it's time 
   Em 
You might not wanna go 
                 Am 
But it's okay to cry 
                     D 
And it's alright to fold 
    D7           Em  D  C7M 
But you are not alone 
              Em  D  C7M 
You are not unknown 
 
Final Em  D  C7M 
        Em  D  C7M 
        Em  D  Bm  Em
