G#m7 B C#m7 Let me guide you through the story of a boy and his curse G#m7 Emaj7 F#sus4 C#m7 Tiny diamonds in his stroller with his first step chasing the hearse G#m7 Denied a cup that was half way filled C#m7 Ebm E F# Looking forward to the day he paid that drinking bill G#m7 B C#m9 There's no peace no more quiet on this earth G#m7 Emaj7 F#sus4 C#m9 He can finally nestle tightly in that womb beneath the dirt G#m7 Hurt no more, and when he turned 24 C#m7 Ebm E F# He wrote a note to nail to god's front door that said:

[Verse 2] (Same rhythm and chords as verse one)
Found a high paying job, and the love of his life
They rode a rollercoastser ride of lust on their wedding night
They made a baby in unmentionable ways
He was ungrateful as a man could be on that blessed day
And underneath he thought this is all a phase
Just a blip in the existence of a structure vast and great
Prayed each night to his cross of a charm
For the one thing he couldn't afford just to buy the farm
[Bridge]
B G#m7 F#sus4 I'll never lose another friend again B G#m7 Or Watch them start a war that's fought F#sus4 For ideals that are dead B G#m7 F#sus4 I'll never have an argument again Emaj7 Because my dust B Will be your salt Emaj7 And my blood B Will hydrate you up Emaj7 My heart B Will be your meal Emaj7 And I won't ride the cycle of the way B It kills to think and feel no more no
[Outro] (chorus chords)
One sweet day his heart ceased to beat
He fell so fast beneath all out feet
Through bugs and snakes
Last words he had to say were:
Help me claw my way tot eh surface
Oh sweet lord you know I deserve this
just one more
just one more birthday
