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                                
Of the second hand, counting down 
                       C
'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

Continues after the ad
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                                  
That we've all got so much time to 
C    G
kill
F
But the sad fact's that we've all 
got
C   C/B          Am        
One foot in the grave from the 
     G              F
moment we were born
G                                
And time flies like a bat out of 
Am
hell

Am C x3

G                               F
Oooooh, once we quit breathing, our 
hearts will cease breathing
E
The Sun will keep beating the Earth

[Chorus]
C         Am         E           
Everyone, everywhere someday will 
  F
die
C                  Am             
When it comes time to fill a grave
 E             F
 darlin' don't cry because
C          Am                E  
None of us exist on purpose, 
              F
were just hurled into this circus
C          Am              
The tent's collapsing and the 
   E            F
ringleader's tired

[Chorus]
C         Am         E           
Everyone, everywhere someday will 
  F
die
C                  Am             
When it comes time to fill a grave
 E             F
 darlin' don't cry because
C          Am                E  
None of us exist on purpose, 
              F
were just hurled into this circus
C          Am              
The tent's collapsing and the 
   E            F
ringleader's tired

[Chorus]
C         Am         E           
Everyone, everywhere someday will 
  F
die
C                  Am             
When it comes time to fill a grave
 E             F
 darlin' don't cry because
C          Am                E  
None of us exist on purpose, 
              F
were just hurled into this circus
C          Am              
The tent's collapsing and the

ringleader's tired

And dead people all smell the same
