VERSE 1
C C
This is how it works
G G
It feels a little worse
Am Am
Than when we drove our hearse
F F
Right through that screaming crowd
C C
While laughing up a storm
G G
Until we were just bone
Am Am
Until it got so warm
F F
That none of us could sleep

And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay

But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees

While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

CHORUS
C C
On the radio
G G
We heard November Rain
Am Am
That solo's really long [awful long]
F F
But it's a pretty song [a good refrain]

C C
We listened to it twice
G G
'Cause the DJ was asleep

Riff 1

VERSE 2 [C C G G Am Am F F...]

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't

You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took

And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood

And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

CHORUS

...
C C
We listened to it twice
G G
'Cause the DJ was asleep
Am Am
On the radio
F F
On the radio
C C
On the radio oh-oh
G G
On the radio oh-oh
Am Am
On the radio-o
F F
On the radio-o oh ohh...

INTRO

C C
Ah ah ah rah ah ah
G G
Ah ah ah rah ah ah
Am Am
Ah ah ah rah...

RIFF 2
Ah ah ah ah

# End on C C
