Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Say[Bm] that[G] you were stranded
on a desert island
What books you gonna bring what
friends would tag [C]along
[G]Say you had a month and you
knew you were dying
How would you spend your time
What goodbyes would take too [C]long
[D]You don't like this game
and you take exception
Who wants all this trouble
even hypothetic[Em]al
With the char[Am]ging sky above
And the ground below that
[D]could swallow everyone
[G]

[Verse 2]
Staring at your phone at another party
Spend a lot on clothes got a lot
of skin to [C]show
[G]People in the pool like
the drowning army
Smoke along the moats and
the hotel lobby [C]glows
[D]Wish that you can dance but
you've got no partner
Keep tapping on your glass because
you want to make [Em]a toast
To the [Am]ennui of our times
To the selfishness in [D]everyone
you [G]know[D][Em]
[C]Made a lot of friends but
they can[D]'t be trusted
[G]Don't know what their angle [Em]is
[C]Post up at the bar and I'm [D]double fisted
Talk[G]ing to a mannequin
[Em]I don'[C]t know what it means
when [D]he takes my pulse
And [G]says that I'm a lot [D]like [Em]him
[C]I say that's fair enough that's why
I'm try[D]ing to loosen up

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Bm][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Every lunatic must be well intentioned
Sets himself apart he's an
instrument of [C]god
[G]Took her from the playground
to the farmhouse cellar
Kissed her while he killed her
like a good [C]Samaritan
They [D]fi nally found her body
many Autumns after
Interviewed her mother who
said she'd now [Em]be 21
And [Am]although we lost her young
I know the good lord has a [D]plan
for all of us
[G][Em]

[Verse 4]
[C]Mormons at the door they
[D]are clean and handsome
Al[G]ways have a good [D]sales [Em]pitch
[C]Your little sisters swears that
she can [D]take my order
But I [G]can't take [Em]her serious
[D]Nee[C]d something to bring
For this [D]human nature is [G]not what
this condi[D]tion [Em]is
[C]I'm so bored with my life but
[D]I'm still afraid to die
[C]Everyone's asleep in
this [D]burning building
And [G]I can't wake them up in t[Em]ime
[C]You go on ahead I'll be [D]right behind you
I'm [G]headed to the finish [Em]line
I can't ig[C]nore the sun
until this is [D]over

[Interlude 2]
[D][G]

[Verse 5]
[G]Pretend that you were stranded
on a desert island
What would be the message that
you'd spell out for the [C]plane
[G]Say the engine failed when
that plane was flying
If you were the pilot would you
curse or would you [C]pray
[D]No one's gonna cry at
this John Doe funeral
Not a lot to say did it even
have [Em]a name
Light [Am]a candle just in case he
was someone's friend
Throw some [D]flowers on the grave

[Outro 1]
[G]
