Verse 1
DWhen you goEm7, we'll burn your body
And a tGoxic cloud will rise above this tEm7own so daDrk
So what you got, you got no taEm7kers
Think I might tGake the dogs a waEm7lking down my local pDark
Chorus
'Cause there'll alAways be a band to see
A bF#Mook to read, a game to go to
SoAngs to write, and pA/Gools to swim
And a dA/F#og that needs a baAll to throw toG  D/F#  EM7  
So don't go yDet, cause we're not rEm7eady
we're not finGished with you darEm7ling by a long shot, nDo
Verse 2
And when you go, we'll all start drinking
Say it's what you would have wanted, say it's what you would expect
And late that night, we'll get to thinking
It's a mockery, a lottery, just who goes next
Verse 3
And when you're gone, and the tears are finished
Will this town be any different? Will this town be any less?
And will you memory, be diminished?
By the ones who follow after, who could try but never guess.
