 G   G/F#    D       G             G/F#      Em 
When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes. 
     G              G/F#       Em         G              Bm   A    G 
His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep. 
 G  G/F#   D    G           G/F#     Em 
My mother lies alone on her back at night, 
  G        G/F#           Em      G                     Bm     A    G    
Adding up hours till her demise, she counts herself to sleep. 
 G      G/F#    D        G          G/F#         Em 
When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds, 
  G          G/F#         Em        G                    Bm    A     G 
I tell her I promise its fine, but she cries herself to sleep. 
G    G/F#         D    G             G/F#      Em 
The men in black ties arrive at the house in surprise. 
    G      G/F#                Em          G                     Bm      A    G  
To find a little girl by your side in the wood box where you're sleeping. 
 G      D          Bm           A         G 
I still see you inside of this God-awful house 
     Bm           A     G 
You move awfully quiet now 
G            D        Bm  A   G 
And I still feel you everywhere 
     G                G/F#              D 
You told me this has always been worth living, 
 D                 G          Bm A          G       
But what's really worth living      anymore? 

Outro: Bm A G
