[Verse 1]
C D Em
I asked you how he's doing the day before he died
Em7
You said he's doing fine we're all just doing fine
C D Em
About a week ago I watched his body lowered down
Em7
Now no one's doing fine and I am less and less around
C D Em
I'm sick to death and scared that I might actually be the culprit
Em7
I didn't spend much time with him and no one seemed to notice
C D Em
His lust for life was squandered when he lost his loving friends
Em7
Believed he actually was a corpse before his life had ended
C D Em
The final letter seemed despondent as if he wasn't there
Em7
One more summer and you could've been amongst the world you feared
[Verse 2]
C D Em Em7
You were happy don't understand how it could all be fake
Your smile glowing but your eyes reflected shame
C D Em
Sorrowful and somber-filled your family didn't help
Em7
Your sister was the one with issues that they had to deal with now
C D Em
Now life is but a memory and death is in full swing
Em7
Your skin that held together bone is promptly decaying
C D Em
Family gathered 'round to see an issue unresolved
Em7
Why couldn't you have told a friend that might've helped it all
[Break]
C D Em
Identify the body the father pleaded so
Em7
All that laid was flesh no longer occupied a soul
C D Em
Delicate and calm the father witnessed his son's fate
Em7
The bullet hole that entered had an exit just the same
[Instrumental]

C D Em Em7
[Bridge]
C D Em
And I've been wrapping these tragedies in plastic
Em7
And throwing them away amidst the trash that I inhabit
C D Em
Madness it’s tragic
Em7
I'm clogging up my feelings with this sickness that is sadness
[Outro]
C D Em
I asked you how he's doing the day before he died
Em7
You said he's doing fine we’re all just doing fine
