To Kill A Sunrise

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

[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

And dead people all smell the same
