I apologize in advance as this won t sound completely right. He throws a few notes
on between each succession, but, this is about as close as I could get it.
In the introduction, he puts his finger across the entire fret, which I ll just call barD and barE
Introduction:
x4
Am barD barD barE x3
Bad things happen every day
Cancer and murder and herpes and AIDS
We ll all die alone someday
I hope we don t die alone
x2
And our vices make it bearable enough
To know our lives are shit but to not give a
They make it bearable enough to
Help us on our way
x2
Still, it feels nice to feel alive
To try and find a house or home or someplace to thrive
It feels great to feel alive
Except for all those times we feel dead
x2
And how do we maintain our buoyancy
In this salty lake of shit and tears and murder and disease?
How do we keep ourselves afloat
In all this sad stuff?
x2
I ve got to know the answers
I ve got to know it now
I need to know the answers
I have to know how
We ll all die alone someday
I hope we don t die alone
