Intro: Cm Cdim

A# (rest) D#
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
E-7 5b Cm C+
But you're unable to touch your loved ones
F A# E-7 5b Cm Cdim
Give them kisses or see them smile at you
A# (rest) D#
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
E-7 5b Cm C+
But you give up your whole life's work
F A E-7 5b Cm Cdim
And never can reverse the bad things that you did


Cm F
While alive you still have hope
Cm A#
That when you die it might be better
E (rest) B E
When you die you are dead
Em C#m B E
And you know for sure if it's better, if it's better, if it's better
G Em C#7b5
I hope it's better

Smell the flowers of spring, or drink cider in the fall

You wanted them to hear when you didn't have the nerve

You get to spend eternity thinking about your life

What will I do forever?

At this time there is nothing you can change

You can only sit and watch and hope they understand
