Chords for Will Wood BBQ - Memento Mori

_ _ _ _ _ So before I [Ab] _ _ [A] end it all, [C] _ _
I'm talking about the show.
_ [B] _ [C] Yuck. _
_ [Ab] Thank you all so much for everything.
This has been a lot of fun. _
You guys have been [N] great.
_ _ _ I like to close every show with this one last song. _
_ _ _ _ And because it _ _ kind of sums up everything I think I'm all about. _ _
And _ [Ab] this _ is one [E] thing that [F] I like to keep in mind at all times.
[Gm] Whenever I feel like I'm [Ab] just like, dude.
You know, like I'm too weird.
You know, _ _ [Eb] too weird to live, too rare to die.
[N] Ew. _ _ _
So, no, when I feel like, I don't know, like I'm [Ab] just fucked.
Like there's no way I'm ever going to just be able to adjust.
Like I'm permanently maladaptive, permanently maladjusted.
You know, permanently malcontent. _
Just a permanent square peg, [Am] permanent round hole, vice versa.
[Bb] Always [G] clawing my way [C] up the side of the bell curve, sticking my flag in the peak.
[N] _
Slide my way back down.
[C] Like I'll never amount to anything.
I'll [F] never be okay.
I'll never get out of this mess [N] alive.
That's one thing that I keep in mind.
That kind of makes everything seem okay.
And if I just tell you what that thing is, you're going to be like,
Will, what the fuck is wrong with you?
For like the tenth time tonight.
And _ _ [Ab] _ that's probably [E] a low estimate.
_ But, _ [A] so I wrote this [Ab] song, and I hope that it communicates it way better than my,
you know, _ drug-addled, over-medicated brain can do with just talking.
So, _ [Am] _
I like to call this [N] song the most important thing in the world.
Not that the song is the most important thing.
It's about the most, you know, you know.
_ [Eb] _ One [C] _ _ day _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _
[Am] _ [D] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ [F] you'll look [A] up at the ceiling above.
[Dm] You're three o'clock, you're nine [G] o'clock, the ones that you love.
[Bb] The [C] lights in your eyes [F] fade and life [D] flashes by.
[Bb] [C] One day you're going to die.
_ [F] One day you'll sleep and [A] you'll never wake again.
[Dm] Heaven, hell, nirvana, [G] nothing, no one knows how it ends.
[Bb] We're less than [C] pieces [F] and won't [D] even know why.
[Bb] One [C] day you're [F] going to die.
_ _ [Cm] Read your [F] horoscopes, your palms and tarot cards.
[Bb] Either [Gm] way, your destination ain't very far.
[Cm] You could [F] drown or choke or [Cm] burn or be hit by a car.
[G] What doesn't kill [B] you makes you stronger.
But something will [Ab] eventually.
[F] One day you'll look [A] back at the life that you led.
[Dm] No more future left to feel.
You'll have [G] the past to regret.
[B] [Bb] But your [Gm] worries will [C] be [F] over when you truly realize.
[Bb] One [C] day you're [F] going to die.
[C] Take it away, [F] hands.
_ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [D] _
[Bb] _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [A] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _
In the fabric of time and in the vastness of space.
A billion amounts to nothing in infinity's [B] face.
At [Ebm] most a [F] couple generations will remember the [Gb] ways in [G] which your life never [C] mattered.
So who cares if [D] it's a waste?
Well, [G] one day you'll be [B] not even a faint memory.
No [E] one must [Cm] a ghost or falling leaf from your [A] family tree.
[C] Your [D] legacy's not yours to see, [G] nor is [E] your eulogy.
Yeah, [C] you're never [D] gonna know [G] what this all means.
But [C] you'll be at peace [D] before you sleep [G] if you just keep this [E] in [C] mind.
That everything [G] and everyone goes with the passage [C] of time.
So whether it's [D] cancer, [G] murder, or [E] suicide. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] One [D] day you're going [G] to die.
[Bm] Try [E] not to think [C] about it.
One [D] day you're going [G] to die.
But there [E] ain't no life [C] without it.
One day [D] you're going [G] to die.
[E] There's probably nothing [C] after.
[D] One day you're [G] going to die.
So [E] if you only [Db] have one chance, [D] you ought to [G] try your best [E] to live as you like.
[C] [D] One day [G] you're going to die. _
_ _ _ _ Thank you all so much.
That's been Will [Eb] Wood and I'm not gonna be anymore.
Thank you. _ _ _
What [N] _ _ _ _ are _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
we doing now, Doug?
_ Eat more food.
There's still more food.
There's still more food!
_ I feel like everything. _
Like everyone just turned to you and was like, Doug, what are we doing now?
I [G] didn't like that part.
We need a leader, Doug.
[Bb] No.
Thank you so much.
