[D] and the other one was getting [Em] so tired of watching [Bm] all of [C] the time.
It's [Bm] hard enough to keep awake and [C] alive on this [G] cold day.
As far as he knows, it's [C] gonna take four days for [D] the man to catch up [Em] with the mile,
[D] and there's nothing that could ever [Em] be smiling quite [Bm] like death at [C] the door.
