Capo: 5
Intro: F C (X2)
F
When I'm dying
C
Promise compliance
F
And carry my body
C
Up over the fence
F
And lie me on the moss
Am
We'll hide my spirit from the gods
F
And when they come looking
C
We'll be lying in the park
F
Don't want wires
C
I know they're trying to bring me back
F
But no more plastic
C
I've had my piles of all that
F
I've been swathed in inventions
Am
Ever since I ventured to the light
F
And I'm leaving empty
C
With just my sacrifice
Bridge: F C F C F C F C F Am F C
F
Cause you sacrifice
C
all of your life
F
and when you die
C
is that alright?
F
when you're bathed in light
Am
and when your body bursts wide open
F
do you start to cry?
C
not cause you die, but cause you die still hoping?
