When my dad died the worms ate out both his eyes.
     G              G/F#       Em         G              Bm   A    G
His soul flew right up in the sky and I cried myself to sleep.
 G  G/F#   D    G           G/F#     Em
My mother lies alone on her back at night,
  G        G/F#           Em      G                     Bm     A    G   
Adding up hours till her demise, she counts herself to sleep.
 G      G/F#    D        G          G/F#         Em
When my sister finds my body closed up like the blinds,
  G          G/F#         Em        G                    Bm    A     G
I tell her I promise its fine, but she cries herself to sleep.
G    G/F#         D    G             G/F#      Em
The men in black ties arrive at the house in surprise.
    G      G/F#                Em          G                     Bm      A    G 
To find a little girl by your side in the wood box where you're sleeping.
 G      D          Bm           A         G
I still see you inside of this God-awful house
     Bm           A     G
You move awfully quiet now
G            D        Bm  A   G
And I still feel you everywhere
     G                G/F#              D
You told me this has always been worth living,
 D                 G          Bm A          G      
But what's really worth living      anymore?
