Tom: Am
G F E
[Verse 1]
Am
Life's short, don't look, you might miss it
C
No one's saving me from the incessant ticking
Am C
Of the second hand, counting down 'til they're diggin' a grave plot
Am
After all, it is clockwork
Someone dies and someone's born
C
Another day, another way for us to mourn
G
From the maternity ward to back of a crematorium
And it's hard for me to see the point in anything
F E
When everybody's doomed
Am C x3
G F E
[Verse 2]
Am
I've been told before that time heals all wounds
C
I don't believe it for a minute
Am
As the hands of the clock themselves attacking
C
Steal another day away
Am
Carpe diem, I barely got to meet him
C
Before they went and buried him and now I'll never see him again
G
Don't you dare take those moments for granted
F
We've all got our limited time on this planet
E
And no one lives forever
[Bridge]
F C
I'd love to entertain the notion
F C G
That we've all got so much time to kill
F
But the sad fact's that we've all got
C C/B Am G F
One foot in the grave from the moment we were born
G Am
And time flies like a bat out of hell
Am C x3
G F
Oooooh, once we quit breathing, our hearts will cease breathing
E
The Sun will keep beating the Earth
C Am E F x3
C Am E F Fm
[Chorus]
C Am E F
Everyone, everywhere someday will die
C Am E F
When it comes time to fill a grave darlin' don't cry because
C Am E F
None of us exist on purpose, were just hurled into this circus
C Am E F
The tent's collapsing and the ringleader's tired
[Chorus]
C Am E F
Everyone, everywhere someday will die
C Am E F
When it comes time to fill a grave darlin' don't cry because
C Am E F
None of us exist on purpose, were just hurled into this circus
C Am E F
The tent's collapsing and the ringleader's tired
[Chorus]
C Am E F
Everyone, everywhere someday will die
C Am E F
When it comes time to fill a grave darlin' don't cry because
C Am E F
None of us exist on purpose, were just hurled into this circus
C Am E F
The tent's collapsing and the ringleader's tired
[Outro]
Fm C
And dead people all smell the same
