[Verse 1]
A C#m
When you're a ghost,
A D
When you're a ghost,
F#m A E
they'll sit around and talk about how they liked you the most.
A C#m
When you're a dream,
A D
When you're a dream,
F#m A 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
D A
because everybody loves you when you die,
D 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 A E
we'll remember gentle nudges keeping us in bed,
A C#m

or laughing at funerals,
A D
queasy at carnivals,
F#m A E
listening to heartbeats slowing down as we keep growing old, yeah.
[Chorus]
A D F#m
I gotta let you know while you're alive
D A
'cause I'll be a disaster when you die
D E
but when it matters they're not there, not there.
A D F#m
I gotta let you know while you're alive
D A
'cause I'll be a disaster when you die
D E
chubby body, no hair, don't care.
[Bridge]
D A C#m
It's not like the love that they showed us on TV.
D A C#m 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.
