Because We're Dead Tab par Slow Club

F
I could say
       C
That I do
       F
But I don't
            Bb               C
You could wrap a million candles 
 F       Dm       Bb            C         F 
Into a torch and hope that it stears you home

            F        C           F
You could cut all the telephone wires
     F           C               F
And hope that nobody does get through
    Bb                C
I might not have the power 
 F          Dm
Of telepathy 
        Bb       C            F    
But, I'm gonna be contacting you

           F           C           F 
Because i borrowed a book that I saw
      F      C                F      
Was planted deep inside your bag
    Bb         C 
It gave me an excuse
    F         Dm 
To see you again
        Bb      C
But I'm not a theif
              F 
I'll give it back

 F         C     F 
Don't you ever wonder
       F      C       F
Who's living in that house
     Bb             C
It's too small for people
F        Dm
We all said
              Bb             C                  F 
But there's people in the floorboards said the mouse

        F              C              F
And I showed you the things that I'd made
      F               C               F
You didn't think that they were too great
         Bb             C
But I'm glad that you thought of it
  F                Dm
Think what you're taught
          Bb         C            F 
Because everybody else's mind is grey

     F          C        F
We kept up the act for, two-o-o-o-o
 F       C              F
Dates before it needed blue
           Bb             C 
I didn't drink what you drank
            F           Dm
You didn't sink when I sank
      Bb         C                 F
So, there's little else for us to do

Don't you ever wonder
Who's living in that house
It's too small for people
We all said
But there's people in the floorboards said the mouse

Said the mouse

   F        C            F
I didn't say, Goodbye today
       F        C          F
Oh, I did it, The cowards way
    Bb                 C
I tied it to the net, girl
   F             Dm
To see where it gets
       Bb      C 
To go sailing on
           F
Down your way

         F      C         F
But you poured petrol all over
      F        C              F
The ship you used to sail the sea
 Bb            C                F          Dm                    
You didn't think that you'd be coming home again 
Bb           C         F    
   So, you said Bye to me

 F        C     F 
Don't you ever ponder
     F        C     F
On things we never said
 Bb     C
Yes I did
        F            Dm
But when we were kids 
           Bb       C
Now it's too late
               F      C
Because we're dead
               F      C
Because we're dead
               F      C
Because we're dead
               F
Because we're deeeeeeeeaaaad
