VERSE 1
C
This is how it works
G
It feels a little worse
Am
Than when we drove our hearse
F
Right through that screaming crowd
C
While laughing up a storm
G
Until we were just bone
Am
Until it got so warm
F
That none of us could sleep
And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again
CHORUS
C
On the radio
G
We heard November Rain
Am
That solo's really long [awful long]
F
But it's a pretty song [a good refrain]
C
We listened to it twice
G
'Cause the DJ was asleep
Riff 1
VERSE 2 [C G Am F...]
This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again
CHORUS
...
C
We listened to it twice
G
'Cause the DJ was asleep
Am
On the radio
F
On the radio
C
On the radio oh-oh
G
On the radio oh-oh
Am
On the radio-o
F
On the radio-o oh ohh...
