They [A]crucify you when you [E]get it wrong
When [D]things are fine they put [C]you ahead
They [A]laugh at you with your [E]trousers down
They [D]pick the stones and aim them [C]at your head
[A]When you're al[E]ive they won't [D]care what you've [C]said
[A]What you des[E]erve and all the [D]blood you've bl[C]ed
(play intro riff x2)
[A]Doesn't matter what you [E]try to hide
The [D]sun comes out and then the [C]truth is read
Your [A]fans'll love you when [E]you're alive
But the [D]wreaths are laid by the [C]rest instead
[A]When you're [E]alive they won't [D]care what you've [C]said
[A]What you [E]deserve and all the [D]blood you've [C]bled
(bass root notes appear above):
Cos everybody loves you when you're dead

intro riff (guitar is mixed really low here, so it's going to take some time to
figure out).
A5 G5 A5 G5 (x2)
[A5]When you're a[G5]live they won't [A5]care what you've [G5]said
[A5]What you de[G5]serve and all the [A5]blood you [G5]bled
You'll [A]turn in your [E]grave at what's [D]gonna be [C]said
You'll [A]finally [E]be appre[D]cia[C]ted
Cos [A]every[E]body loves you [D]when you're [C]dead
[A]Every[E]body loves you [D]when you're [C]dead
ending (unsure of this bit):
