The Graveyard Near the House The Airborne Toxic Event
The Graveyard near the house - The Airborne Toxic Event
Capo 3
Intro: C G C F
[C]The other day, when we were walking by t[G]he graveyard near the house,
You asked me [C]if I thought we would ever d[F]ie.
And if li[C]fe and love both fade s[G]o predictably,
We've made [C]ourselves a kind of predictable l[F]ife.
And so I pic[C]tured us like corpses, lying s[G]ide by side in pieces,
In some da[C]rk and lonely blood under a b[F]ow.
We looked so si[C]lly there, all decomposed, half tu[G]rned to dust,
In tattered clothes, but we pr[C]obably look just as silly n[F]ow.
Bye bye b[C]ye bye, bye bye to all this dog[G]ged innocence.
I can't pre[C]tend that I can tell you what is go[F]ing to happen next,
Or how to b[C]e.
But you have [C]no [F]ide[Em]a ab[G]out m[C]e, do [Em]you?
And it l[C]eft me to wonder if people wi[G]ll ever know each other
By just stu[C]mbling around like strangers in the da[F]rk.
'Cause some[C]times you seem so strange to me,
I m[G]ust seem strange to you.
We're like two ac[C]tors playing our pa[F]rts.
Did you memo[C]rize your lines? 'Cause I did.
Here's t[G]he part where I get so mad,
I tell you [C]I can't forget the pa[F]st.
You get so q[C]uiet now, and you seem, somehow,
Like a l[G]ost and lonely child.
And you just h[C]ope that the moment won't l[F]ast.
Bye bye b[C]ye bye, bye bye to all this do[G]gged innocence.
I can't pre[C]tend that I can tell you what is go[F]ing to happen next,
Or how to b[C]e.
But you have [C]no [F]ide[Em]a ab[G]out m[C]e.
You have [C]no [F]ide[Em]a ab[G]out m[C]e, do y[Em]ou?
So there's alw[C]ays a way aro[Em]und.
There's som[C]ething tying our feet to the gr[Em]ound,
A moment passed, we hate how it sou[F]nds.
And it se[C]ems a lit[F]tle l[Em]ess p[G]rofou[C]nd,
Like we're a[C]ll go[F]ing the s[Em]ame w[G]ay d[C]own.
Yeah we're a[C]ll go[F]ing the s[Em]ame w[G]ay do[C]wn,
I'm just tr[C]ying [F]to w[Em]rite it [G]all do[C]wn.
'Cause I write s[C]ongs, and you write le[G]tters,
We are ti[C]ed like two, in teth[G]ers.
And we t[C]alk and read, and laugh an[G]d sleep, at night[C] in bed, to[G]gether.
And you wa[C]ke in tears somet[G]imes,
I can see the thou[C]ghts flash across your e[G]yes.
They say "Dar[C]ling, will you be ki[G]nd?
Will you be a good ma[C]n, and stay be[G]hind if I get o[F]ld?"
And then the let[Am]ters all pass through my he[G]ad,
With the w[Em]ords that [G]I was to[C]ld,
About the fa[Am]ding flesh of life a[G]nd love, the fai[Em]lures [G]of the bo[C]ld.
I can li[Am]st each crippling fe[G]ar like I'm re[Em]ading fr[G]om a w[C]ill.
And I'll de[C]fy [F]every[Em]one and lo[G]ve you st[C]ill,
I will car[C]ry y[F]ou with [Em]me up ev[G]ery hi[C]ll.
And if you [Am]die before I d[G]ie, I'll carve your n[Em]ame out o[G]f the s[C]ky,
I'll fall as[Am]leep with your mem[G]ory and dr[Em]eam of wh[G]ere you l[C]ie.
It may be bet[C]ter to move on, and to let l[G]ife just carry on,
And I may be wr[C]ong.
But still, I'll t[F]ry.
'Cause it's be[Am]tter to lo[G]ve whether you w[Em]in or l[G]ose or d[C]ie,
Yeah, It's b[Am]etter to l[G]ove whether you [Em]win or l[G]ose or d[C]ie.
It's be[Am]tter to lo[G]ve, and I will l[Em]ove you 't[G]il I d[C]ie.
It's a beautiful song, hope you like the chords!
