Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][G][Am][C][Am][G]
[Am][C]
[G][F][C]

[Verse 1]
This is how it works [G]It
feels a little worse
Than [Am]when we drove our hearse
Right through that scream[F]ing crowd
While [C]laughing up a storm
Un[G]til we were just bone
Un[Am]til it got so warm
That [F]none of us could sleep
And [C]all the Styro[G]foam
Began to melt away
[Am]We tried to find some worms
To [F]aid in the decay
But [C]none of them were home
In[G]side their catacomb
A [Am]million ancient bees
[F]Began to sting our knees
While [C]we were on our knees
[G]Praying that dis[Bm]ease
[G]Would lea[Am]ve the ones we love
And [F]never come again

[Verse 2]
[C]On the radio
[G]We heard November Rain
[Am]That solo's really long
But [F]it's a pretty song
We [C]listened to it twice
'Cause the [G]DJ was [Bm]asleep[G]
[C][G][C][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 3]
[C]This
is how it works
You're [G]young until you're not
You [Am]love until you don't
You [F]try until you can't
You [C]laugh until you cry
You [G]cry until you laugh
[Am]And everyone must breathe
Un[F]til their dying breath

[Verse 4]
No, [C]this is how it works
You [G]peer inside yourself
You [Am]take the things you like
And try to [F]love the things
you took
And then you [C]take that
love you made
[G]And stick it into some
[Am]Someone else's heart
Pumping [F]someone else's blood
And [C]walking arm in arm
[G]You hope it don't get harmed
[Am]But even if it does
You'll just [F]do it all again

[Verse 5]
And [C]on the radio
You hear Novem[Em]ber Rain
[G]Tha[Am]t solo's awful long
But it's a good [F]refrain
You [C]listen to it twice
'Cause the [G]DJ is asleep
[Am]On the radio
[F](Oh, oh, oh)
On the radio
[C]On the radio, uh oh
[G]On the radio, uh oh
[Am]On the radio, uh oh
[F]On the radio

[Outro 1]
[C][G][Am][C]
[G][Am][C][C][G]
[F][C]
[Cm]
