[Verse 1]
G A Bm
I asked you how he's doing the day before he died
Bm7
You said he's doing fine, we're all just doing fine
G A Bm
About a week ago, I watched his body lowered down
Bm7
Now no one's doing fine and I am less and less around
G A Bm
I'm sick to death and scared that I might actually be the culprit
Bm7
I didn't spend much time with him and no one seemed to notice
G A Bm
His lust for life was squandered when he lost his loving friends
Bm7
Believed he actually was a corpse before his life had ended
G A Bm
The final letter seemed despondent as if he wasn't there
Bm7
One more summer and you could've been amongst the world you feared
[Verse 2]
G A Bm Bm7
You were happy, don't understand how it could all be fake
Your smile glowing but your eyes reflected shame
G A Bm
Sorrowful and somber-filled, your family didn't help
Bm7
Your sister was the one with issues that they had to deal with now
G A Bm
Now life is but a memory and death is in full swing
Bm7
Your skin that held together bone is promptly decaying
G A Bm
Family gathered 'round to see an issue unresolved
Bm7
Why couldn't you have told a friend that might've helped it all?
[Break]
G A Bm
"Identify the body," the father pleaded so
Bm7
All that laid was flesh, no longer occupied a soul
G A Bm
Delicate and calm, the father witnessed his son's fate
Bm7
The bullet hole that entered had an exit just the same
[Instrumental]
G A Bm Bm7
G A Bm Bm7
[Bridge]
G A Bm
And I've been wrapping these tragedies in plastic
Bm7
And throwing them away amidst the trash that I inhabit
G A Bm
Madness, it’s tragic
Bm7
I'm clogging up my feelings with this sickness that is sadness
[Outro]
G A Bm
I asked you how he's doing the day before he died
Bm7
You said he's doing fine, we’re all just doing fine
