[Verse 1]
Dm   G7
Baby

                        Fmaj7  E
Empires crumble all the time

Dm             G7
Pay it no mind

                             Fmaj7  E
You just happened to witness mine

Dm       G7                            Fmaj7  E
Don't let all the light fall from your eyes

Dm        G7
Come come

                        Fmaj7  E
Empires crumble all the time
[Chorus]
A                  F       G
How can a dismally typical Tuesday

D                     F           G
Delivering blues with lead in its canopy

A                    F            G
Scruff me pin me and let's make a man of me

D                           F          G
Turn up the pounding of the hearts all around

A                              F           G
And I'm bound to get busy with checking on the living

D                                     F             G
And I'll wring out their hands and my eyes with the sobbing

A
But how can a bland unremarkable typical Tuesday be Day of the Dead?
[Verse 2]
Dm   G7
Baby

                        Fmaj7  E
Empires crumble all the time

Dm             G7
Pay it no mind

                             Fmaj7  E
You just happened to witness mine

Dm       G7                            Fmaj7  E
Don't let all the light fall from your eyes

Dm        G7
Come come

                        Fmaj7  E
Empires crumble all the time

And I'm bound to get busy with checking on the living
