Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I present to you a story
Set [E]upon [B]a northern shore
[E]The denizens [B]of lighthouse
[Em]During times of war[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]The foolish things they did
The [Dsus4]foolish things they s[D]aid
I'm [C]sure you [G]will [C]agree
They [B]would be bet[Cdim]ter
[D#dim]off dead
[B][Cdim][D#dim]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Lilly keeps the lighthouse
She's [B]afraid the unknown
She's [Esus4]no ray of[B] sunshine[Esus4][B]
So [Em]mostly she's [D]alone[G]

[Verse 4]
And no one [C]cares about her longing
Or [Dsus4]the dreams [Asus4]on which she's fed[D]
[C]And though I'm sad to say it
She would [Cm]be b[Cdim]etter off dead
[D#dim]
[Am][F#dim][Cdim][D#dim][B]

[Em]Next we have a sheriff
[B]Charles is his name
He's something of [Em]a sideshow[B]
Every [Em]sheriff is the same
[D]

[Verse 6]
[C]
Will he stand for [Dsus4]justice
[Asus4]Or something else [Em]in s[D]tead
[C]Either way it [Am]hardly [C]matters
[D#dim]He's better off dead
[B][D#dim][Cdim][B]

[Verse 7]
When [Em]everything is done
And [A]everything is said
[C]Life is naught but pain
It's [Dsus4]bet ter to be dead[D]
[Em]Release your

When [C]all the world's at war
It's [Dsus4]bet ter, it's bette[D]r

He [B]hails from old Japan
He searches for redemption
In this [Em]strange and foreign [G]land
[C]And now

[Verse 10]

To [D]earn [Asus4]his daily bread[D]
But the [G]most [C]that one can [D]say
[C]Is tha[B]t he'[Cdim]s better off de[D#dim]ad[B]

His father flew to heaven
On a [Em]fiery airplane
