A             C#m
When you’re a ghost,
A             Dmaj7
When you’re a ghost,
F#m                    Adim           E
they’ll sit around and talk about how they liked you the most.

A             C#m
When you’re a dream,
A             Dmaj7
When you’re a dream,
F#m             Adim               E
I’ll wake up to warm sun-rays that make me want to scream.


[Chorus]
A                D                   F#m
 I wanna let you know while you’re alive
                  Dmaj7              A
 'cause everybody loves you when you die,
                  Bm                       E
but when it matters they’re not there, not there.


[Verse 2]
A            C#m
When love is dead,
A            D
When love is dead,
F#m            Adim          E
we’ll remember gentle nudges keeping us in bed,

   A           C#m
or laughing at funerals,
A         D
queasy at carnivals,
F#m          Adim               E
listening to heartbeats slowing down as we keep growing old, yeah.


[Chorus]
A                D                 F#m
I wanna let you know while you’re alive
                   Dmaj7              A
 'cause everybody loves you when you die,
                Bm                           E
but when it matters they’re not there, not there.
A                D                 F#m
I gotta let you know while you’re alive
                   Dmaj7              A
‘cause I’ll be a disaster when you die
           Bm            E
chubby body, no hair, don’t care.


[Bridge]
      D            A             A             C#m
It’s not like the love that they showed us on TV.
         D            A           C#m      F#m
It’s a home that can burn. It’s a limb to freeze.
      D
It’s worry.
        Bm
Love is worry.
D C#m F#m A
Yeah.
