Intro: C5 C5

Bb5 (rest) Eb5
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
E-7 5b C5 C+
But you're unable to touch your loved ones
F5 Bb5 E-7 5b C5 C5
Give them kisses or see them smile at you
Bb5 (rest) Eb5
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
E-7 5b C5 C+
But you give up your whole life's work
F5 A5 E-7 5b C5 C5
And never can reverse the bad things that you did


C5 F5
While alive you still have hope
C5 Bb5
That when you die it might be better
E5 (rest) B5 E5
When you die you are dead
E5 C#5 B5 E5
And you know for sure if it's better, if it's better, if it's better
G5 E5 C#7b5
I hope it's better


Bb5 (rest) Eb5
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
E-7 5b Eb+ C+
Though you can't feel the warmth of summer
F5 Bb5 E-7 5b C5 C5
Smell the flowers of spring, or drink cider in the fall
Bb5 (rest) Eb5
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
E-7 5b Eb+ C+
Though it's too late to say the words
F5 Bb5 E-7 5b C5 C5
You wanted them to hear when you didn't have the nerve


C5 F5 C5 Bb5
You get to spend eternity thinking about your life
E5 (rest) B5 E5
Think of all the time that is
E5 C#5 B5 E5
Cuz eternity is forever, is forever, is forever
G5 E5 C#7b5
What will I do forever?


F#5 B5 E5
At this time there is nothing you can change
C#5 Eb5 Ab5 A5 A5
You can only sit and watch and hope they understand


(clear electronic notes in Bm , spring, and possibly guitar bends)


Bb5 (rest) Eb5
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
E-7 5b Eb+ C+ F5 Bb5
Because there isn't anything else to do but sleep
E-7 5b C5 C5
I feel sorry for the dead

Bb5
