[Intro]
Am G Am E Am
The flowers by your bed are wiltiAmng.
The sun is setting in the westE.
A fog is covering your eyesE,
Your stockings are attracting fliesE,
Decay is nibbling at the Amboards on wEhich you rAmest.
There's someone waiting at your winAmdow,
Familiar face without a Dmname.
One night he'll creep in like the miEst,
To touch your forehead with a kiEss,
And lead you back into the Amvoid from wEhence you caAmme.
[Chorus]
We've all begun to Fdie, Eand don't know what to dAmo.
Since it Fhurts to pray to EGod, when AmGod is dying too.
Takes strength to lFaugh, Ewhen you start to Amdrown.
    DmAnd we Amdance while the Esky crashes Amdown.E  Am  
AmLike that the earth begins to quivAmer,
AmAnd all the oceans turn to Eblack.
A ship of maniacs with Eknives,
Are playing Blackjack with their lEives,
To kill the time until the Amgiant Erats attAmack.
It's raining leprosy and Amacid.
The saints were taken out and Dmshot.
When someone proffers you a Epear,
You sink your teeth in unaEware,
That just beneath the skin lies Ampestilence aEnd Amrot.
[Chorus]
We've all begun to Fdie, Eand don't know what to dAmo.
Since it Fhurts to pray to EGod, when AmGod is dEying tAmoo.
Takes strength to lFaugh, Ewhen you start to Amdrown.
    DmAnd we Amdance while the Esky crashes dAmown.E  Am  
[Bridge]
Am Dm E E Am E Am
Am Dm E Am A7
DmAll that now Ambreathes, and Eall that you Amlove,
DmAll that we Amweave, will find its Eway back to the Edust.
A band of skeletons is Amplaying,
Don't act like you don't know the Etune.
Your part is echoed in the Epath,
Of every dead leaf blowing Epast,
Against a counterpoint Amreflected off Ethe mAmoon.
There is a banquet at the tAmable,
Exotic cheeses wines and cDmakes.
And every one of us is Edamned,
Until we start to uEnderstand,
That living is to gorge Amourselves at our oEwn wAmakes.
[Chorus]
We've all begun to Fdie, Eand don't know what to dAmo.
Since it Fhurts to pray to EGod, when AmGod is dEying Amtoo.
Takes strength to laFugh, wEhen you start to dAmrown.
    DmAnd we Amdance while the Esky crashes dAmown.E  Am  
When the stakes are hFigh, bEest to play the cAmlown.
       DmAnd we Amdance while the Csky crashes Fdown.G  Am

[Intro]

Am G Am E Am

The flowers by your bed are wilting.

The sun is setting in the west.

A fog is covering your eyes,

Your stockings are attracting flies,

Am E Am

Decay is nibbling at the boards on which you rest.

There's someone waiting at your window,

Familiar face without a name.

One night he'll creep in like the mist,

To touch your forehead with a kiss,

Am E Am

And lead you back into the void from whence you came.

[Chorus]

F E Am

We've all begun to die, and don't know what to do.

F E Am

Since it hurts to pray to God, when God is dying too.

F E Am

Takes strength to laugh, when you start to drown.

Dm Am E Am E Am

And we dance while the sky crashes down.

Am Am

Like that the earth begins to quiver,

Am E

And all the oceans turn to black.

A ship of maniacs with knives,

Are playing Blackjack with their lives,

Am E Am

To kill the time until the giant rats attack.

It's raining leprosy and acid.

The saints were taken out and shot.

When someone proffers you a pear,

You sink your teeth in unaware,

Am E Am

That just beneath the skin lies pestilence and rot.

[Chorus]

F E Am

We've all begun to die, and don't know what to do.

F E Am E Am

Since it hurts to pray to God, when God is dying too.

F E Am

Takes strength to laugh, when you start to drown.

Dm Am E Am E Am

And we dance while the sky crashes down.

[Bridge]

Am Dm E E Am E Am

Am Dm E Am A7

Dm Am E Am

All that now breathes, and all that you love,

Dm Am E E

All that we weave, will find its way back to the dust.

A band of skeletons is playing,

Don't act like you don't know the tune.

Your part is echoed in the path,

Of every dead leaf blowing past,

Am E Am

Against a counterpoint reflected off the moon.

There is a banquet at the table,

Exotic cheeses wines and cakes.

And every one of us is damned,

Until we start to understand,

Am E Am

That living is to gorge ourselves at our own wakes.

[Chorus]

F E Am

We've all begun to die, and don't know what to do.

F E Am E Am

Since it hurts to pray to God, when God is dying too.

F E Am

Takes strength to laugh, when you start to drown.

Dm Am E Am E Am

And we dance while the sky crashes down.

F E Am

When the stakes are high, best to play the clown.

Dm Am C F G Am

And we dance while the sky crashes down.
