Intro Db B F#
Db B
Since he was a little boy
F#
No one seemed to care about him
Db B
The boy was all alone
F#
And no one talked to him
Db B F#
The day he became 24 he disappered
And no one cared
Db B
It started to smell in a couple of months
F#
Found him hanging in his flat
A B
Then the competition begun
Db
About who was his closest friend
A E B
Everyone (Everyone) loves you when you are dead
Db A
Do you really care when you're
B
Six feet under the ground?
Since the day they found him dead
Everyone seems to care
They tell each other they are so sad
Don't even knew his name
You feel so bad because you didn't care
But now it is to late
Face the fact you didn't like him at all
I promise he don't care anymore
Still the competition begins
About who was his closest friend
