I'll keep it in, I'll keep it in.
I'm [G] all good.
If you're a rat and a fire, you ought to watch your own funeral.
[C]
Listen to this.
[F] [Em] [Dm]
Oh, I [C] can see them now, clutching a [Fm] handkerchief
And blowing me a [G] kiss, discreetly [Em] asking how
How come he [C] died so young, or was he [Dm] very old?
Is [Fm] the body [Ab] still warm, is it already [E] cold?
[G] All doors are [Am] open wide, they grope around [Em] inside
My desk, my drawers, [Fm] my trunk, there's nothing left [Em] to hide
Some love letters [Eb] are there, and an old [Dm] photograph
They blade my [G] poor soul bare, and all they do [C] is laugh
[Em]
[C] Oh, [G] I can see [C] them all, so formal and [Fm] so stiff
Like a [G] sergeant at arms, and a [C] policeman's balls
[Em] [C]
And everybody's pushing to be the [Fm] first in line
Their hearts upon [Dm] their sleeves, [G] like a ten-cent [E] valentine
[G] The old women [Am] are there, too old to give [Em] a damn
They've brought along [Fm] the kids, who don't know who [Em] I am
They're thinking about [A] the price of my funeral [Dm] bouquet
What they're thinking [G] isn't nice, for now they'll [C] have to pay
[Em] [C] Oh, I see all of you, all of my [F] phony friends
[Fm] Who can't wait till it ends, [G] who can't wait till it's [C] through
Oh, I see all of you, you've been laughing all these [F] years
Now all that you [Fm] ever left are [G] a few [E] crocodile [Abm] tears
[E] Ah, you [G] don't [Am] even know that you're entering [C] your hell
As you leave my [F] cemetery, [Fm] you think you're [C] doing well
With that one who's at [Eb] your side, you're as proud as you can [Dm] be
Ah, she's going to make [C] you cry, but [G] not the way you cried [C] for me
[Gm]
[C] Oh, [Ab] I can [C] see me now, so [Fm] cold and so alone
As the flowers [G] slowly died, my field [C] of [Em] little rows
[C] Oh, I can see me now, I can see [F] me at the end
[Fm] Of this [G] voice that I'm on, without a love, [E] without a friend
Now [G] all [Am] this that I see, is not what [Em] I deserve
They really [F] have a nerve, to [C] say these things to me
No girls, just bread [A] and water, and your money you must [Dm] save
For there'll be nothing left for [G] us, when you're dead and in your [C] grave
[Em] Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[Db] [C] [N]
I'm [G] all good.
