Cemetery
View chords used in this chart
G
There's a cemetery deep below the sea
Cadd9
They're the spaces reserved for fools like me
Em
Tried to kill myself at least a dozen times
Cadd9
But nothin' seemed to turn out right
G
Now I'd rather wait a half a century
Cadd9
Soiling the bed of belligerent and wrinkly
Em
Even when I go blind and lose my mind
Cadd9
Nothing seemed to turn out right
G
If you want then when we die
Cadd9
We'll ascend to someplace way up high
Em
At the gate they'll show you through
Cadd9
If they ask me I'm with youuuuu
G
You're in my body
Cadd9
You're, you're in my body
Em
You're in my body
D
That's where I think about you
SECOND VERSE AND CHORUS (exactly the same)
Em
Falling asleep
Cadd9
Asleep at the wheel, as I
Em
Approach that gate
Cadd9
I'm starting to feel, if you could
Em
Wake me up
Cadd9
With only your touch
Em
I could die with you
D
Life would be enough
And so on...
