D Gm F Bb C   D Gm F Bb C
[Verse]
D   Gm                     F
    Saw that in a movie
       Bb           C
I just fixed up the cellar
D                     Gm
Half of that is mine
F                     Bb  C
Some of that was true
[Chorus]
D                   Gm
We die alone we die afraid
                         F
We live in terror we're naked and alone
        Bb           C
And the grave is the loneliest place
D                   Gm
We die alone we die afraid
                        F
We live in terror we're naked and alone
        Bb           C
And the grave is the loneliest place
D                    Gm
We die alone we die afraid
                    F
Afraid to die we're naked and alone
Bb        C
Naked and alone
D                   Gm
We die alone we die afraid
                        F
We live in terror we're naked and alone
Bb        C
Naked and alone
[Verse]
D         Gm
Last wave rolling by
F          Bb        C
Final wave don't ask why (I'm happy)
D                 Gm
There goes a wave rolling by
F         Bb  C
Last wave
[Bridge]
D         Gm
   I'm so tired of waiting
   F
My heart is cold
The sky is dark
    Bb               C
I'm curled up in the ashes
[Chorus]
D                   Gm
We die alone we die afraid
We live in terror
F                  Bb    C
Naked and alone we die
[Verse]
D                              Gm
If you want to make out with a biplane (No!)
F                        Bb         C
Perchance a dance with a carcass in space (No!)
    D
And now you got to buy me some antlers
Gm
Antlers are what I need you to buy (Why?)
F
To take me down to the postman (You do it!)
         Bb               C
Tell the postman to throw them to
[Chorus]
D       Gm
   Wave rolling by
F          Bb        C
Final wave don't ask why
D                 Gm
There goes a wave rolling by
F          Bb        C
Final wave don't ask why-y-y
