[INTRO]
Em Am G B7 C (x2)
-VERSE 1-
Em
Somewhere down the road,
Am
Well there's a ditch or there's a hole
G B7 C
That marks the spot where you will lie when you are cold.
Em
And you can run and you can hide,
Am
And you can bitch and you can whine,
G B7 C
But you'll never save your life.
-CHORUS-
G Am G Am
When you meet death, be out of breath,
G B7
And say you're pleased to see him because you're tired.
Em Am G B7 C (x2)
-VERSE 2-
Em
Now you can go down with the wreck
Am
Or you can scurry from the deck
G B7 C
But there's no way to save your skinny little neck,
Em Am
And you can pray to who you please and you can fall down on your knees,
G B7 C
But your feet will still get wet.
-CHORUS/BRIDGE-
G Am G Am
When you meet death, be out of breath,
G B7 F
And say you're pleased to see him because you're tired
C
Of wondering how much time you have left,
A#
Of worrying that you're no good at chess,
It's your funeral anyway;
Am G F Am G F D
Choose your game, then let's play.
Em Am G B7 C (x2)
-CHORUS/OUTRO-
G Am G Am
When you meet death, be out of breath,
G B7
And say you're pleased to see him -
G B7
In fact you're waiting for this meeting,
G B7
And well frankly his time-keeeping
C B7
Leaves a lot to be desired,
C B7 Em
So tell that hooded huckster that he's fired.
