[Verse 1]
  G                                          A   Bm
I asked you how he's doing the day before he died
    Bm7
You said he's doing fine, we're all just doing fine
 G                                           A   Bm
About a week ago, I watched his body lowered down
    Bm7
Now no one's doing fine and I am less and less around
    G                                                        A   Bm
I'm sick to death and scared that I might actually be the culprit
  Bm7
I didn't spend much time with him and no one seemed to notice
    G                                                    A       Bm
His lust for life was squandered when he lost his loving friends
   Bm7
Believed he actually was a corpse before his life had ended
    G                                              A     Bm
The final letter seemed despondent as if he wasn't there
Bm7
One more summer and you could've been amongst the world you feared

[Verse 2]
         G                           A        Bm     Bm7
You were happy, don't understand how it could all be fake

Your smile glowing but your eyes reflected shame
G                                               A    Bm
Sorrowful and somber-filled, your family didn't help
     Bm7
Your sister was the one with issues that they had to deal with now
    G                                         A      Bm
Now life is but a memory and death is in full swing
     Bm7
Your skin that held together bone is promptly decaying
G                                             A     Bm
Family gathered 'round to see an issue unresolved
    Bm7
Why couldn't you have told a friend that might've helped it all?

[Break]
   G                                    A    Bm
"Identify the body," the father pleaded so
Bm7
All that laid was flesh, no longer occupied a soul
G                                                A     Bm
Delicate and calm, the father witnessed his son's fate
Bm7
  The bullet hole that entered had an exit just the same

[Bridge]
              G                           A       Bm
And I've been wrapping these tragedies in plastic
Bm7
And throwing them away amidst the trash that I inhabit
G                A    Bm
Madness, it’s tragic
    Bm7
I'm clogging up my feelings with this sickness that is sadness

[Outro]
  G                                          A     Bm
I asked you how he's doing the day before he died
    Bm7
You said he's doing fine, we’re all just doing fine
