Chorus:

All along

Thought I was learning how to take
        A7              D
How to bend not how to break
        G               Em
How to live not how to cry
            Em          A7            C
But really I've been learning how to die
             G             D    G (G-F#-E walkdown) Em  A7
I've been learning how to die"

Hey everyone
      A7            D   G (G-F#-E walkdown) Em  A7
I've got nowhere to go
     D          G (G-F#-E walkdown) Em
The grave is lazy
        A7               D      G (G-F#-E walkdown) Em  A7
And he takes our bodies slow

Goes away"

How to live not how to cry
