[Verse 1]
[A]They crucify you when you [E]get it wrong
When [Dm]things are fine they put [C]you ahead
They [A]laugh at you with
your [E]trousers down
[Dm]They pick the stones and aim
them [C]at your head

[Verse 2]
[A]When you're alive they won't
[Dm]care what you [C]said
[A]What you deserve and all the
[Dm]blood you [C]bled[Am][A][Am]
[C]
[A]It doesn't matter what
[E]you try to hide
[D]The sun [Dm]comes out and
then [C]the truth is read

[Verse 3]
Your [Am]fans will love you when [E]you're alive
[Em]But the [Dm]wreaths are laid
by the [C]rest instead
[A]When you're [E]alive they [A]won't
[Dm]care what [Am]you said[C]
[A]What you deserve and all
the [Dm]blood you [C]bled

[Verse 4]
'Cause [A]everybody [G]loves you
[E]when you're [A]dead[G][E]
[D]Kneel [Dm]and [C]pray by the [Bb]side
of your [D]bed[C][Bb]
And [A]everybody [G]loves you [E]when
you're [A]dead[G][E][Dm]
Kneel and [C]pray just like [Bb]your momma
