Tom: Em Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 [Verse] Em Cmaj7 Okay— C B When the doctor started using phrases like Em Cmaj7 "You'll pass away" C What could I say? F I said, Doctor F In plain English Em Cmaj7 Tell me why was I chosen B Why me of all men? F Doctor, here's the good part Em At least death means Cmaj7 C B I'll never be scared about dying again Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 B Let's get on with living while we can Em Cmaj7 And not play dumb C Death's gonna come [Chorus] Em C When it does, screw the nerves Am G I'll be eating hors d'oeuvres C G B It's the roll of the dice and no crime Em Cmaj7 You gotta die sometime Em Cmaj7 [Bridge] Cmaj7 G Death is not a friend B Em But I hope in the end D G He takes me in his arms and lets me hold his face D He holds me in his arms and whispers something funny Am C He lifts me in his arms and tells me to embrace B His attack Em Then the scene turns to black [Verse] Em Cmaj7 Life sucks C B People always hate a loser Em Cmaj7 And they hate lame ducks C B Screw me and shucks F That's it That's the ball game Em I don't smoke, don't do drugs B And then comes the bad news F I quit That's the ball game C It's the chink in the armor B The shit in the karma Em Cmaj7 The blues C B Can I keep my cool despite the urge Em Cmaj7 To fall apart? C B How should I start? [Chorus] Em C I would cry if I could Am G But it does no damn good C G B To explain I'm a man in my prime Em Cmaj7 You gotta die sometime Em Cmaj7 [Bridge] Cmaj7 Death's a funny pal G B With a weird sort of talent D G He puts his arms around my neck and walks me to the bed D He pins me up against the wall and kisses me like crazy Am The many stupid things I thought about with dread B Now delight Em Then the scene turns to white [Verse] C B Em Cmaj7 Give me the balls to orchestrate a graceful leave C B That's my reprieve [Chorus] Em To go out C Without care Am G My head high in the air C G B It's the last little mountain I'll climb I'll climb G You gotta die sometime Em You gotta die sometime You gotta die sometime G You gotta die sometime, sometime Sometime, sometime Em Sometime, sometime
