This song is quite simple. The main chord sequence is repeated throughout the entire
song, and all chords are barred. Don't be afraid to experiment with
different strumming patterns. It's very fun to play along with. Enjoy.

VERSE
D#m F#
You'll be happy to know
G# B
The situation is worse
D#m F#
The endless bottles of pills
G# B
That never seem to work
D#m F#
Sleeping in his clothes
G# B
And still looking his best
D#m F#
He's so high in the tomb
G# B
You wouldn't know he's dead
CHORUS
D#m F# G# B (optional: slide down one fret to Bb)
You look like you could use a rest
D#m F# G# B (Bb)
You look like you'd be better dead
VERSE
D#m F#
They're making requests
G# B
For songs that you never play
D#m F#
And the sanity lost
G# B
Is worth the money paid
D#m F#
How does it feel
G# B
To be what you sing about
D#m F#
We all came to applaud
G# B
But the ghost said you'd long checked out
CHORUS
D#m F# G# B (Bb)
You look like you could use a rest
D#m F# G# B (Bb)
You look like you'd be better dead
VERSE
D#m F#
You'll be happy to know
G# B
The situation is worse
D#m F#
The endless bottles of pills
G# B
That never seem to work
D#m F#
She's keeping receipts
G# B
On all that you've done wrong
D#m F#
Your selfish efforts were cheap
G# B
And have lasted far too long
CHORUS
D#m F# G# B (Bb)
You look like you could use a rest
D#m F# G# B (Bb)
You look like you'd be better dead
D#m F# G# B (Bb)
You look like you could use a rest
D#m F# G# B (Bb)
You look like you'd be better dead
