Guaranteed correct. Great song. Poetic, and very well written.

It's Easy to Sleep when your Dead
-Written by Kevin Barnes
-Performed by of Montreal 

Intro: Cm Cdim

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


Cm F
While alive you still have hope
Cm Bb
That when you die it might be better
E (rest) B E
When you die you are dead
Em C#m B E
And you know for sure if it's better, if it's better, if it's better
G Em C#7b5
I hope it's better


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


Cm F Cm Bb
You get to spend eternity thinking about your life
E (rest) B E
Think of all the time that is
Em C#m B E
Cuz eternity is forever, is forever, is forever
G Em C#7b5
What will I do forever?


F#m B E
At this time there is nothing you can change
C#m9 Eb Abm A A9
You can only sit and watch and hope they understand


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


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

Bb
IfeelsorryforthedeadIfeelso
Hoolah
