[Intro] (you can play the bass riff instead of these chords) A/C# C5 G/B Bb5 A/C# C5 G/B Bb5 A E D C [Verse]
     A                    E
They crucify you when you get it wrong

D                        C
Things are fine they put you ahead

     A                      E
They laugh at you with your trousers down

     D                            C
They pick the stones and aim them at your head
[Chorus]
A           E                 D             C
When you're alive, they won't care what you said

A          E                 D         C
What you deserve and all the blood you bled
[Interlude] (same as intro) A/C# C5 G/B Bb5 A/C# C5 G/B Bb5 [Verse]
A                       E
Doesn't matter what you try to hide

    D                          C
The sun comes out and then the truth is read

     A                        E
Your fans will love you while you're alive

        D                       C
But the wreaths are laid by the rest instead
[Chorus]
A           E                D             C
When you're alive they won't care what you said

A          E                 D         C
What you deserve and all the blood you bled
[Break]
       G    F              Eb(b5)
'Cause everybody loves you when you're dead

D         C           B(b5)
Kneel and pray by the side of your bed

         G     F             Eb(b5)
And then everybody loves you when you're dead

D         C                   B(b5)
Kneel and pray just like your momma said
[Chorus] A5
A5
When you're alive they won't care what you said

A5
What you deserve and all the blood you bled
[Last chorus]
       A            E               D        C
You're turning your grave at what's gonna be said

       A      E        D  C
You'll finally be appreciated

       A    E              D         C
'Cause everybody loves you when you're dead

A    E              D         C
Everybody loves you when you're dead
[Outro] G5 F5 Eb5 D5 C5 Bb5 (/E?)
