(Verse)
[Bm]When [A]my dad [D]died the [G]worms ate o[D/F#]ut both his ey[Em]es.
His [G]soul flew right [D/F#]up in the s[Em]ky and I c[G]ried mys[A]elf to sl[Bm]eep.[A] [G]
[Bm]My mo[A]ther l[D]ies al[G]one on her ba[D/F#]ck at nig[Em]ht.
A[G]dding up ho[D/F#]urs till her dem[Em]ise, she c[G]ounts hers[A]elf to sl[Bm]eep.[A] [G] [Bm] [A] [G]
[Bm]When my s[A]ister fin[D]ds my b[G]ody closed [D/F#]up like the bl[Em]inds,
[G]I tell her I pro[D/F#]mise its f[Em]ine, but she c[G]ries her[A]self to s[Bm]leep[A].[G] [Bm] [A] [G]
[Bm]The m[A]en in black t[D]ies arr[G]ive at the h[D/F#]ouse in surpri[Em]se.
[G]To find a little g[D/F#]irl by your [Em]side in the [G]wood box where yo[A]u're sleep[Bm]ing.[A] [G] [Bm] [A] [G]
(Bridge)
[G]I still see yo[A]u insid[Bm]e of this Go[A]d-awful h[G]ouse
You m[Bm]ove awfully qu[A]iet n[G]ow
[G]And I still fe[A]el you everywh[Bm]ere[A] [G]
You t[Bm]old me this has al[A]ways been worth l[G]iving,
[G]But what's really worth livi[Bm]ng a[A]nym[G]ore? [Bm] [A] [G]
