A              Emi
One day on one tombstone
         G
All our names should go
             D
We shared a life
A                  Emi
The beauty and the ugliness
            G
Through all pain and death
               D
The birth of a child

R:

A                                               Emi
Thanks for throwing me the line when I've lost sight of it
G                            D
You're the only reason I can exhale
A                                            Emi
And now, suddenly that when I find that the outcome's just not right
            G
From what I just did
                            D
You're the only thing I can breathe through

Here, my sweet friends, a few lines of poetry
They may be laughable, but thanks for laughing with me
And here's to the next time I wrap myself around a tree
I know that you'll be there with bells on
to pull me off

R:

G                     D                   A
And you can tell me a story I've heard before
A
I'll insult your mother
Emi            G               A
Then you can tell me where to go

R: (x2)
