The wonderful last song on "The Bedside Drama". As with any Of Montreal song,
there are almost as many chords as there are words; I tried to be as detailed
with the chords as I could, but I may have missed or misinterpreted a few. Listen
along with his voice and try to add or subtract notes according to the melody,
and change the chords to suit you. (n/c) means stop playing and sing. I may
easily be wrong about the capo, i didnt realize my guitar was a half step sharp
totally put it on the internet.
Intro:
(n/c)
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
But you're unable to touch your loved ones
Give them kisses or see them smile at you
(n/c)
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
But you give up your whole life's work
And never can reverse the bad things that you did
While alive you still have hope
That when you die it might be better
(n/c)
When you die you are dead
And you know for sure if it's better, if it's better, if it's better
C7b5
I hope it's better
(n/c)
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
Though you can't feel the warmth of summer
Smell the flowers of spring, or drink cider in the fall
(n/c)
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
Though it's too late to say the words
You wanted them to hear when you didn't have the nerve
You get to spend eternity thinking about your life
(n/c)
Think of all the time that is
Cuz eternity is forever, is forever, is forever
C7b5
What will I do forever?
At this time there is nothing you can change
You can only sit and watch and hope they understand
(evil noises here)
(n/c)
It's easy to sleep when you're dead
Because there isn't anything else to do but sleep
I feel sorry for the dead
Outro: strum A and sing hula's for as long as you please.
