I aGlways Clike to be Gsurprised
I dont want to be told what happens Cafter I Gdie
Death is like a mystery gift Cwraped up in a Gbox
sent from infinity and Cstamped with question Gmarks.
FEveryone's got theres and I've got Gmine
people shake it, weigh it, disCcuss it all the Gtime .
I tend to think theres Cnothing at all Gin it
But its cool that I could Cfind out any Gminute
And I Gwhistle past the Cgraveyard when I Gwalk
Cause I dont wanna Chear the corpses Gtalk
I dont wanna hear them Cgrumble and Gcomplain
Or disscuss how much they Cwant to eat my Gbrain
and I Falways kind of like to be Gsurprised
I dont wanna be told what happens Cafter I Gdie.
no I dont wanna Chear the courpses Gtalk
so I whistle past the Cgraveyard when I Dwalk
*whistle to chords G C G,  the rest of the song follows the same basic chord progression*
Well if we lived for ever we'd realy want to find out
But what a relief, we all die, so theres nothing to worry about
Some say that life is empty, some say its meaningless
And some say it isn't such a bad thing if it is
and some say im wrong and that i'll go to hell
But i'd be happy just knowing that there was a point so its just aswell
some people assume that youll suffer there, they just think you're selfish
if I was in hell id be glad knowing that other people are in heaven
it'd make it no so hellish
And I whistle past the graveyard when I walk
Cause I dont wanna hear the corpses talk
but I want black cats to cross my path and I pick up bad pennys
and if theres monsters in my closet then come and get me
and I always kind of like to be suprised
I dont wanna be told what happens after I die.
no I dont wanna hear the courpses talk
so I whistle past the graveyard when I walk.
