G

C                            Am
  The walls of our house are thinner than paper.
    Em        G          C            Am
The roof is a vapor that hangs in the air
C                        Am   
  And our wedding bed is made from the same stuff
G   Em         G       C
Our bodies are ma---de of.


Em7  C                                Bm
     If no heavy breath blew up these lungs
                   G(barre)                  C
While dirt and wet spit hung, a ghost in the air--
            D     C         D  G
Well, we're still here.


C                                   Am
  While kids and their friends make war by the fire
G     Em        G       C            Am    C
Their old men retire to drink and do dru---gs
(C)                         Am 
 We long for the truth; we argue about it
G   Em         G            C       Am
But most of us doubt it can ever be found.


     Bb             D               G(barre)
Is a ship without a captain just as doomed
     C              Am    D
As a ship without a cre---w?
          Bb                 D               G      
`Cause of all my friends who try to tell the truth
          C                Am
There are still a faithful few
                C                  D
Who insist they won't know what to do


C                                Bm
If no heavy breath blew up these lungs
                   G(barre)                  C
While dirt and wet spit hung, a ghost in the air--
            D     C         D  C
Well, we're still here.
            D     C         D  C
Well, we're still here.
      D     G
We're still here.
