Its Easy To Sleep When Youre Dead

by Of Montreal

Biography:

of Montreal is an indie pop band which formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1997. The band is fronted by Kevin Barnes, who writes, composes, and plays most of the music for his albums.

They were among the second wave of groups to emerge from The Elephant 6 Recording Company and the group has a style that is typical of many Elephant 6 bands due to their interest in combining musical experimentation with the basic tenets of pop i.e. catchy melodies and sing-along choruses.

The wonderful last song on "The Bedside Drama". As with any Of Montreal song,
there are almost as many chords as there are words; I tried to be as detailed
with the chords as I could, but I may have missed or misinterpreted a few. Listen
along with his voice and try to add or subtract notes according to the melody,
and change the chords to suit you. (n/c) means stop playing and sing. I may
easily be wrong about the capo, i didnt realize my guitar was a half step sharp
when I transcribed this. If anyone comes up with a regular version they should
totally put it on the internet.

Give them kisses or see them smile at you

A (n/c) D
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
Ebdim Bb G
Though it's too late to say the words
Ab A Ebdim Bm Db
You wanted them to hear when you didn't have the nerve

You get to spend eternity thinking about your life

You can only sit and watch and hope they understand
