Verse 2: (Same rhythm and chords as verse one)
Found a high paying job, and the love of his life
They rode a rollercoastser ride of lust on their wedding night
They made a baby in unmentionable ways
He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day
And underneath he thought this is all a phase
Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great
Prayed each night to his cross of a charm
For the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm
Bridge:
B G#m7 F#sus4
I'll never lose another friend again
B G#m7
Or Watch them start a war that's fought
F#sus4
For ideals that are dead
B G#m7 F#sus4
I'll never have an argument again
Emaj7
Because my dust
B
Will be your salt
Emaj7
And my blood
B
Will hydrate you up
Emaj7
My heart
B
Will be your meal
Emaj7
And I won't ride the cycle of the way
B
It kills to think and feel no more no
Outro: (chorus chords)
One sweet day his heart ceased to beat
He fell so fast beneath all out feet
Through bugs and snakes
Last words he had to say were:
Help me claw my way tot eh surface
Oh sweet lord you know I deserve this
just one more
just one more birthday
