[Verse 1]
N.C.
One Two One Two Three
One two, one one, one two three four five
One two, one two
C B
I just don't know quite what to do
E
Holes in pocket no money inside
A
Had hopes so high, but it must have fell out
B
Of the holes in my mind and pantry shelf
C B
No food in the ice box? That's fine
E
Survive on dandelions and weeds
A
The types that grow in the cracked concrete
B
Look up tips from the one percent
C B
How to make a billi off of interest
E
Just skip on the cream in your five buck coffee
A
Right, okay, I'll give it a try
B
Skipping on cream ain't really that tough
C B
So I skipped on eating and breathing and living and
E
Still ain't got enough by the first of the month
A
Knock on the door goes 1, 2, 3
B
Cops always knock in threes on the glass
C B
Blast through the window, light from the flash
E
Wake with a start to hear them chant
A
Come on out now, Can't sleep here
B
Don't care where you do, just not near me
C B
I'll give you to the count of 1, 2, 3
[Chorus]
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until apocalypse
And they keep on counting faster
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until I'm broke
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until apocalypse
And they keep on counting faster
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until I'm broke
[Verse 2]
E
And a ten, nine, eight bucks left
A
Dollar for a pie slice, split it in two
B
The rest to the debts and IOUs
C B
Gotta get a job? There's a hole in the resume
E
Where were you? I was chasing dreams
A
Well sorry, we don't have space on the team
B
C'mon cap, give me a chance
C B
I've got two days till the power goes out
E
I'm four days past on the water
A
Spouts bone dry, lips all parched
B
Squat in the bins outside
C
Be in for work in the morning time
B E
Name the shift and I'll make it mine
A B
1 through 9, through 12 till 5, 8 days straight no caffeine break
C B
Just money on the barrel and the barrel counts out
E
1, 2, 3 till I can breathe
A
Then it's 4, 5, 6 years deep in the job
Get tired get sick
B C
Get driven insane, quit, skip town
B
Dream till you drown
Sounds alright
E
3 Years go round, money gets tight
A
Start counting down and the days sound like
B C
10, 9, 10, 9, 8, 7,
B
7, 8, 6, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
And a one and a one and a one and a one
[Chorus]
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until apocalypse
And they keep on counting faster
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until I'm broke
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until apocalypse
And they keep on counting faster
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until I'm broke
[Verse 3]
E
Negative days until I'm spent
A
No clue where all the money went
B
Man this cost of living is killing me
C B
Head to the hills and start a distillery
E
Don't got a phone 'cause the government tracks it
A
Not a legal home, don't pay no taxes
B
Don't need no money for food or wine
C B
Cookin' up my own moonshine
[Chorus]
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until apocalypse
Man this cost of living's killer
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until I'm broke
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until apocalypse
Man this cost of living's killer
A B
These are the days that I have left
E
Until I'm broke
