Respect For The Dead

         A
It’s bad luck to be braggin’… how you put me down
                                E
Watch out for the lies that you spread
    E
You ripped out my heart but I can… still get around
                                         A
You’ve got to… show some respect for the dead

You’re gonna be sorry for the way you behaved
                           E
Regret every mean word you said
      E
It’ll come back to haunt you… if you dance on my grave
                                        A
You ought to… show some respect for the dead

           E                         A

Life as I knew it… ended the day
                        E
You left for another instead
     E
Your dreams become nightmares if you treat love this way
