[Verse]
G                     C                            G       Em
the ghosts of the palliative care ward have been following me 

G                        C                   G               Em
whispering through the clear plastic lining over their dead bodies

G                         C                   G      Em
their diapers and their feces still on the hospital sheets

G                          C                         G           Em
they're dead but they're still up walking around and they say to me
[Chorus]
                   G
"death is pretty sweet"

Em             C            G
we're in the valley of the dead

Em        C             G      Em          C        G
cremated bodies in the air and the rotten ones underneath

Em                    C
where we harvest the food we eat

Em                 G              Em             G
I'm not scared of death because death's all over me
[Verse]
                       C                   G        Em
I've been spending my time hanging out in hospital wards

G                      C                  G          Em
bringing flowers and love letters to my quadriplegic baby

G                 C                    G         Em
the ache of his colostomy bag and his blood transfusions

G                     C                    G                Em
his medication makes him so sleepy but he still whispers to me
[Chorus]
                   G
"death is pretty sweet"

Em             C            G
we're in the valley of the dead

Em              C             G          Em             C        G
bodies turn to liquid in the heat, the particles crawl into our pores

     Em                 C
and they soak into our wooden floors

Em                 G              Em             G
I'm not scared of death because death's all over me

Em                 G              Em             G
I'm not scared of death because death's all over me
