[Verse 1]
A#m F
Grandma’s drunk again,
B F#
passed out in her soup.
A#m F
The rats are singing,
B F#
there’s asbestos in the roof.
A#m F
Mr. Perkins in the
B F#
front yard with his gun.
A#m F
The kids are crying
B F#
as he points it at the sun.
[Chorus]
F# G# F F#
I smell pollen where the grass still lives,
F# G# F F#
standing on the mezzanine choking on my spit.
F# G# F F#
I still wonder why they live like this,
F# G# F
it seems like everyone’s dying.
[Instrumental]
A#m F B F#
(x2)
[Verse 2]
A#m F
She killed her husband ‘cause he
B F#
loved her like a whore.
A#m F
They say the flowers grew
B F#
the day she dumped the corpse.
A#m F
She drowns herself inside her
B F#
Tylenol and pills.
A#m F
Says she could have been
B F#
an actress in a film.
[Chorus]
F# G# F F#
But I smell pollen where the grass still lives,
F# G# F# F#
standing on the mezzanine choking on my spit.
F# G# F F#
I still wonder why they live like this,
F# G# F*
It seems like everyone’s dying.
[Instrumental]
A#m F B F# (x4)
[Bridge]
C# G# F F#
This town is dying.
C# G# F F#
Why are they like this?
C# G# F F#
God keeps on lying.
C# G# F F#
They’ll try to hide it.
C# G#
They’re setting fire to the churches tonight.
F F#
The shadows dance on the wall.
C# G# F*
Waiting for the answers to their calls.
[Outro]
A#m F B F#
(x4)
backwards gibberish
Grandma′s drunk again
Passed out in her soup
The rats are singing
There's asbestos in the roof
Mr. Perkins in the front yard with his gun
The kids are crying as he points it at the sun
I smell pollen where the grass still lives
Standing on the mezzanine
Chocking on my spit
I still wonder why they live like this
It seems like everyone′s dyin'
She killed her husband 'cause he loved her like a whore
They say the flowers grew the day she dumped the corpse
She drowns herself inside her Tylenol and pills
Says, "She could′ve been an actress in a film"
But I smell pollen where the grass still lives
Standing on the mezzanine
Chocking on my spit
I still wonder why they live like this
It seems like everyone′s dyin'
This town is dyin′
Why are they like this
God, kids are lying
They'll try to hide it
They′re setting fire to the churches tonight
The shadows dance on the wall
Waiting for the answers to let go
