The Graveyard Near the House The Airborne Toxic Event
It took me a few hours to complete the song, but here it is! Sometimes it's quite
difficult what they're playing exactly.

Intro:
[C] [G1] [C/B1] [Am]
-Verse 1
The other [C]day when we were walking by the gr[G1]aveyard near the house
You asked me i[C/B1]f I thought we would ever di[Am]e
And if l[C]ife and love both fade so pr[G1]edictably
We've made ourselves a k[C/B1]ind of predictable li[Am]e
And so I p[F]ictured us like corpses
Lying side [G2]by side in pieces
In some d[C/B2]ark and lonely plot under a bou[Am]gh
We looked so s[F]illy there all decomposed
Half t[G2]urned to dust in tattered clothes
Though we p[C/B2]robably look just as silly no[Am]w
-Chorus
Bye, bye, [F]bye, bye, bye, bye to all this d[G2]og-eared innocence
I can't p[F]retend that I can tell you what is g[C]oing to happen n[C/B2]ext or how to be[Am]
C C/B2 Am G3 F(Remember the high e-string)
But you have no i---de-a about me
Do yo[C]u?
-Verse 2
And it le[C]ft me to wonder if pe[G1]ople ever know each other
Or just st[C/B1]umble around like strangers in the da[Am]rk
'Cause some[C]times you seem so strange to me, I [G1]must seem strange to you
We're like two a[C/B1]ctors playing our pa[Am]rts
Did you mem[F]orize your lines? 'Cause I did
Here's the par[G2]t where I get so mad
I tell[C/B2] you I can't forget the pas[Am]t
You get so qu[F]iet now and you seem somehow
like a l[G2]ost and lonely child
And you just h[C/B2]ope that the moment won't la[Am]st
-Chorus
Bye, bye, [F]bye, bye, bye, bye to all this d[G2]og-eared innocence
I can't p[F]retend that I can tell you what is g[C]oing to happen n[C/B2]ext or how to be[Am]
C C/B2 Am G3 F \
But you have no i---de-a about me / 2x
Do yo[C]u?
-Bridge
So there's [F]always a way aroun[C]d
There's som[F]ething tying our feet to the gr[C]ound
A moment p[C/B2]assed we hear how it soun[Am]ds
Then it s[C]eems a l[C/B2]ittle l[Am]ess [G3]profo[F]und
Like we're a[C]ll going[C/B2] the sam[Am]e way[G3] down[F]
Like we're a[C]ll going[C/B2] the sam[Am]e way[G3] down[F]
I'm just t[C]rying [C/B2]to write [Am]it a[G]ll d[F]own
-Verse 3
'Cause I write s[C]ongs and you write le[G2]tters
We are ti[F]ed like two in te[G2]thers
And we ta[C]lk and read, and lau[G2]gh and sleep
At ni[F]ght in bed tog[G2]ether
And you wa[C]ke in tears so[G2]metimes
I can see your tho[F]ughts flash across your[G2] eyes
They say d[C]arling will you be [G2]kind,
will you be a [F]good man and stay behi[G]nd
If I[C/B2] get old?[Am]
-Outro 1
And then the le[F]tters all pass th[G2]rough my head
With the wo[C]rds tha[C/B2]t I was to[Am]ld
About the fa[F]ding flesh of lif[G2]e and love
The fa[C]ilures [C/B2]of the b[Am]old
I can l[F]ist each cri[G2]ppling fear
like I'm re[C]ading f[C/B2]rom a w[Am]ill
And I'll d[C]efy [C/B2]everyo[Am]ne and l[G3]ove you st[F]ill
I will c[C]arry [C/B2]you with [Am]me up e[G3]very hi[F]ll
And if you [Am]die before I [C/B3]die I'll carve your n[C]ame out[C/B3] of the s[Am]ky
I'll [Am]fall asleep with your [C/B3]memory and d[C]ream of w[C/B3]here you li[Am]e
-Interlude
Maybe bet[F]ter to move on and to let l[C]ife just carry [C/B2]on and I may be wron[Am]g
-Outro 2
Still I tr[C]y
Because it's be[C]tter to l[G2]ove, whether you [Am]win or l[G3]ose or d[Am]ie
Because it's be[C]tter to l[G2]ove, whether you [Am]win or l[G3]ose or d[Am]ie
It's b[C]etter to l[G2]ove, and I will l[Am]ove you [G3]'til I di[Am]e
Ends on C
