[Verse 1]
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#      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.
