[Abm]
[A]
[G] There's a car parked [Abm] where the block begins
[A] And those people sing praise, they say it's all [E] [A] because
And [G] there's a bird perched [Abm] on a frayed wet wire
And his voice [Eb] sings out for a lover, [D] but it's covered [E] by [A] the choir
[G] Voices reaching way beyond [A] the rafters
With [G] devotion they perform these sacred tasks
[G] They cross themselves and offer up [A] their checkbooks
It's like suffering is not too much to ask
Besides we all are [D] making money
And we're all fucking [A] alone
And we don't know [G] what we're doing
Maybe just find [A] us some hope
Because we know that we [D] are lonely
Oh yeah, lonely that's [Gbm] for [A] sure
And the older [Gm] ones are coughing
While the older [D] ones, they're dying
But maybe we're [E] all [G] dying
I [D]
[Abm]
[D]
[Abm]
[A]
[G] passed a graveyard on [Abm] my way to work
[E] Today I [A] saw two dozen white roses on a [E] fresh new mound [A] of dirt
And [Am] I wondered [Abm] about the occupant
When [A] the darkness finally swallowed [D] him, was he [E] calm and [A]
content?
Or [G] was he sweating in a struggle [A] to keep breathing?
[G] Ripping apart the sheets to [A] trust his bed
[G] Crying out loud for someone [A] to help him
Then collapsing on his back all [A] pale and dead
Maybe it's [D] me or is this a
I'm always stressed [A] about the air
Why can't I love a [Gm] happy apartment?
And just enjoy the [A] time I spend
I wish it [D] was nice
But there's no point [A] in facing
You know I can't stop [G] being confused
Why [D] does it have to keep going?
Why is it that [E] we keep going?
[G] [D]
[Abm]

What's this place?
[Abm]
[D] Oh, yeah
