(ver. 1)
Manchester Orchestra
[Verse]

B    C#      D        G*       G/F#         E/A
When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes.
     G*        G/F#           E/A       G/F#   C#        B     A    G
His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep.
B    C#    D     G*         G/F#     E/A
My mother lies alone on her back at night,
 G*        G/F#           E/A         G/F#   C#        B     A    G  
Adding up hours till her demise, she counts herself to sleep.
B        C#      D        G*       G/F#         E/A
When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds,
 G*          G/F#        E/A            G/F#   C#        B     A    G
I tell her I promise its fine, but she cries herself to sleep.
B    C#           D    G*           G/F#       E/A
The men in black ties arrive at the house in surprise.
    G*           G/F#         E/A         G/F#      C#             B     A    G  
To find a little girl by your side in the wood box where you're sleeping.
            B               A             G
Interlude: La da da da da duh da duh da daa... dah x2


[Bridge]

G        A         B            A         G
I still see you inside of this God-awful house
     B            A     G
You move awfully quiet now
G            A        B  A   G
And I still feel you everywhere (repeat "everywhere" 0/3 times depending on which version you're playing)
     B                A                  G
You told me this has always been worth living,
G         G              G           B  A G      
But what's really worth living      anymore?


[Outro]

B A G
