Chords

[Intro] C G Am F [Verse 1]
C
This is how it works

   G
It feels a little worse

     Am
Than when we drove our hearse

      F
Right through that screaming crowd

      C
While laughing up a storm

  G
Until we were just bone

  Am
Until it got so warm

     F
That none of us could sleep

    C
And all the styrofoam

  G
Began to melt away

   Am
We tried to find some worms

   F
To aid in the decay

    C
But none of them were home

  G
Inside their catacomb

  Am
A million ancient bees

  F
Began to sting our knees

      C
While we were on our knees

G
Praying that disease

      Am
Would leave the ones we love

    F
And never come again
[Hook]
C
On the radio

   G
We heard November Rain

     Am
That solo's real long

    F
But it's a pretty song

   C
We listened to it twice

           G
'Cause the DJ was asleep
Am F [Verse 2]
C
This is how it works

       G
You're young until you're not

    Am
You love until you don't

    F
You try until you can't

    C
You laugh until you cry

    G
You cry until you laugh

    Am
And everyone must breathe

  F
Until their dying breath

    C
No, this is how it works

    G
You peer inside yourself

    Am
You take the things you like

           F
And try to love the things you took

             C
And then you take that love you made

    G
And stick it into some

Am
Someone else's heart

        F
Pumping someone else's blood

    C
And walking arm in arm

    G
You hope it don't get harmed

    Am
But even if it does

            F
You'll just do it all again
[Outro]
    C
And on the radio

       G
You'll hear November Rain

     Am
That solo's awful long

    F
But it's a good refrain

       C
You'll listen to it twice

           G
'Cause the DJ is asleep

Am
On the radio

F
On the radio

C
On the radio (uh-oh)

G
On the radio (uh-oh)

Am
On the radio (uh-oh)

F
On the radio
C G Am F
