I returned a bag of groceries accidently taken off the shelf
           G   A      D
Before the expiration date

I came back as a bag of groceries accidently taken off the shelf

Before the date stamped on myself

 Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket 
                  A
And was everybody dancing on the casket
D                  G                  Em      G            A
 Now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
       D      G                Em        C       D   G   A
Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do


D            G       A       D          G     
I will never say the word procrastinate again
     A     D                 G      A       D
I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
D          G   A         D                     G       A       D
 I didn't apologize for when I was eight and I made my younger brother 
        G     A        D       D7
Have to be my personal slave

So I won't sit at home anymore and you won't
