[Intro]
 
F#m - E13 - Dmaj7 (x4)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
    Dmaj7    E            A      E
The evil it spread like a fever ahead
       Dmaj7          E               Dmaj7
It was night when you died, my firefly
Dmaj7             E       A                  E
What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
         Dmaj7    E                      Dmaj7
Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
         E         A
Well you do enough talk
E         A     E          Dmaj7
My little hawk, why do you cry?
        E            A              E         A
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
       E           Dmaj7
Or the Fourth of July?      
                Dmaj7   E    A     E    Dmaj7
We’re all gonna die     
 
 
[Interlude]
 
Dmaj7   E   A   E   Dmaj7
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Dmaj7          E            A            E
Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
       Dmaj7    E                  Dmaj7
Was it all a disguise, like Junior High
      Dmaj7          E        A              E
Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
Dmaj7         E               Dmaj7
Now, where am I? My fading supply
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
        E          A     E         A
Did you get enough love, my little dove
E          Dmaj7
Why do you cry?
        E       A            E           A
And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best
          E          Dmaj7
Though it never felt right
             Dmaj7   E   A   E   Dmaj7   E
My little Versailles
 
Dmaj7   E   A   E   Dmaj7   E   Dmaj7
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
    Dmaj7    E                A       E
The hospital asked should the body be cast
       Dmaj7     E                   Dmaj7
Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
Dmaj7        E          A              E
Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
       Dmaj7       E                   Dmaj7
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?
 
 
[Verse 6]
 
         E           A     E         A
Shall we look at the moon, my little loon
           Dmaj7
Why do you cry?
         E            A     E           A
Make the most of your life, while it is rife
E           Dmaj7
While it is light
 
 
[Verse 7]
 
         E         A
Well you do enough talk
E         A     E          Dmaj7
My little hawk, why do you cry?
        E            A              E         A
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
       E           Dmaj7
Or the Fourth of July?
                   Dmaj7   E   A   E  Dmaj7   E
We’re all gonna die (x2)
                Dmaj7   Dmaj7
We're all gonna die
 
 
[Outro]
 
                F#m - E13 - Dmaj7
We're all gonna die (x5)
