[Intro 1]
[Em][D5][D][G][A5][Em][D5][D][G][A5][A][A5]
[B]

[Verse 1]
There's a [Em]boy in
crimson [D5]rags [G]with a grimace and [A]a spoon, and a [Em]little [D5]sullen
Girl [A]face-up staring staring [B]at the moon
And there's [Em]no o[D5]ne around to
[D]hear their [G]lonesome [C]cries
[C5]Then they [D5]pass [A5]away [D5]alone
into the [Em]night[D5]
[B]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Why do w[G]e [D5]pity the d[Em]ead?
Are you churned by emo[G]tion from
[D5]voices in your [A]head?
(are you scared of [A5]the logic
that swirls [Em]within your head)
Look at all the [C]living and
you'll [G]ask yourself [D5]why
Oh [Em]why d[G]o [D5]we
Pity the dead?
Pity [Em]the dead![D5]
[G][A5][A][Em][D5][A][B]

[Verse 3]
Well, [Em]you've seen the dis[D5]ease,
[G]suffering and [A5]de c[A]ay,
And you [Em]whisper [D5]to yourself
[A]blissfully "it's [B]okay"
And [Em]you still re[D5]fuse [D]the pos[G]sibil[C] ity
That [D5]the dead are [A5]better [Em]off[G][D5][Em][G]
[D5]
[A]tha[Em]n[C][G][D5][Em][G]
[D5]we
[C][D5][Em]

[Verse 4]
[B]
[C]Tell me [D5]what you [Em]see,
[C]tell me [D5]what you [Em]know
[G]Is there anyone who lives [D5]a painless life?
If [C]there is [D5]show me [Em]so
The destitute and famished,
[C]demon[Em]ic and the
[D5]Banished, de[Em]jected and the ostra[C]cized,
[Em]the
Brainwashed and the paralyzed,
[D5]the conq[Em]uered
And ob[C]jectified,
the [Em]few who see the [D5]other side
[C]Tell me [D5]what you [Em]see! It's a [G]mortal [D5]wretched [C]ca [D5]co p[Em]hony
[B]

[C][C5][C][D][D5][B]
In the [Em]end you may

[Verse 5]
[D5]find there's
no [G]guiding subtle [A]light,
No [Em]ancestors or [D5]friends,
no [A]judge of [A5]wrong or [B]right
Just [Em]eternal si[D5]lence and [G]dormancy[C]
And a [D5]final everlasting [Em]peace[D5]
