[INTRO]

Em Am G B7 C (x2)



-VERSE 1-

Em
Somewhere down the road,

Am
Well there's a ditch or there's a hole

                G                   B7            C
That marks the spot where you will lie when you are cold.

            Em
And you can run and you can hide,

            Am
And you can bitch and you can whine,

           G     B7       C
But you'll never save your life.



-CHORUS-

G             Am    G          Am
When you meet death, be out of breath,

    G                     B7
And say you're pleased to see him because you're tired.


Em Am G B7 C (x2)



-VERSE 2-

            Em
Now you can go down with the wreck

           Am
Or you can scurry from the deck

               G                B7          C
But there's no way to save your skinny little neck,

            Em                                 Am
And you can pray to who you please and you can fall down on your knees,

         G         B7      C
But your feet will still get wet.



-CHORUS/BRIDGE-

G             Am   G           Am
When you meet death, be out of breath,

    G                     B7                   F
And say you're pleased to see him because you're tired

                                    C
Of wondering how much time you have left,

                                   A#
Of worrying that you're no good at chess,


It's your funeral anyway;

Am      G    F               Am   G   F   D
Choose your game, then let's play.


Em Am G B7 C (x2)



-CHORUS/OUTRO-

G             Am    G          Am
When you meet death, be out of breath,

    G                     B7
And say you're pleased to see him - 

               G                B7
In fact you're waiting for this meeting,

         G                B7
And well frankly his time-keeeping

         C         B7
Leaves a lot to be desired,

   C                B7                  Em
So tell that hooded huckster that he's fired.
