Disturb a nest of wasps for no good reason

Stand on the edge of a train station platform
Em                               F
Drive around the boom gates at a level crossing
G                                 Am          Em
Run across the tracks between the platforms 
     F                         G
They may not rhyme but they’re quite possibly ...
 
[Chorus]
    C       G/B     Am   Em
The dumbest ways to die
    C       G/B     Am   Em
The dumbest ways to die
    C       G/B     Am     Em [break]
The dumbest ways to die-ie-ie-ie
   F             G                 C
So many dumb, so many dumb ways to die

I prefer to play G/F (1XX033) instead of F/A in the chorus - sounds better for me, and it leads to C through its fifth, which is cool as well. Also, I always play F/G instead of G in the last verse of coda. But that's all up to you ;-) Great work, though!

You could use G7 instead of F/A in the chorus, makes it easier...
