The Obituaries Lyrics

There were chords up here in the wrong key, this is how they play it on the album, and I
included tabs at the bottom, enjoy.
INTRO: (w/ lead) C Em Am x2
VERSE:
We stumbled and stared at the carnival lights that lit up New York City,
From a rooftop in Brooklyn that was covered in bad graffiti.
And then I let a thousand splinters pierce right through my spoiled liver,
Or whatever that was left of it.
LEAD PART:
VERSE:
'Cause I've cursed my lonely memory with picture-perfect imagery.
Maybe I'm not dying I'm just living in decaying cities,
But I'm still healthy, I'm still fine, I've been spending all my time
reading the obituaries.
INTERLUDE:
CHORUS:
But I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
BRIDGE:
'Cause I am the shadow of the waxwing slain
I felt the false azure from windowpanes
I am just freaking out, yeah I'll be fine.
CHORUS:
But I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
I will fuck this up, I fucking know it.
End on C
INTRO:
LEAD PART: x2
INTERLUDE:
