The Graveyard Near The House Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

C G Am B/C A/C G/C F

When Mikel plays the G chord in this song,

he only plucks the top 4 strings.

In the into and at some points in the song

he strums the D string and then strums the chord.

This is subtle, but it makes the chord sound like

a D chord at first. At other points in the song,

he does strum the whole G chord. So it's tricky,

but if you want it to be perfect, you can listen

closely and see what I mean.

Another side note - The B/C, A/C, and G/C chords

are C chords with B, A and G on the bottom instead of C.

I'm sure they have more official names than that, but

this will do for now. Let me know if you know what

their official name is, and i'll add them in.

C G C Am

 The other dCay, when we were walking by the gravGeyard near the house, you

 asked me iCf I thought we would ever dAmie. And if lCife and love both fade so

 predGictably, we've made ourselves a kCind of predictable lAmife.

 And so I picCtured us like corpses, lying sGide by side in pieces, in some dCark

 and lonely blood under a bAmow. We looked so siClly there, all decomposed, half

 turGned to dust, in tattered clothes, but we proAmbably look just as silly now.

 Bye bye bye bCye, bye bye to all this doGgged innocence. I cant preCtend that I

 can tell you what is goGing to happen next, or how to Ambe. But you have Cno B/Ci-

A/Cdea aG/Cbout mFe, do Cyou?

 And it leCft me to wonder if people will eGver know each other by just

 stumCbling around like strangers in the dAmark. 'Cause someCtimes you seem so

 strange to me, I mGust seem strange to you. We're like two acCtors playing our

 paAmrts. Did you memCorize your lines? 'Cause I did. Here's the paGrt where I get

 so mad, I tCell you I cant forget the pAmast. You get so quCiet now, and you

 seem, somehow, like a loGst and lonely child. And you just hCope that the

 moment wont lAmast.

 Bye bye bye bCye, bye bye to all this doGgged innocence. I cant preCtend that I

 can tell you what is goGing to happen next, or how to Ambe. But you have Cno B/Ci-

A/Cdea aG/Cbout Fme,C noB/C i- A/C dea GabCoutF me, doC you?

 So there's alCways a way arAmound. There's somCething tying our feet to the

 grAmound. A moment paGssed, we hate how it soAmunds.

 And it sCeems a lB/Cittle A/Cless G/CprofoFund. Like we're Call BgoCing theA sCameG wCay Fdown.

 Yeah we're aCll gB/Coing the A/Csame G/Cway dFown. I'm just tCryinBg CtoA wCriteG/A it allF down.

 'Cause I write soCngs, and you write letGters. We are tAmied like two, in

 teGthers. And we tCalk and read, and laGugh and sleep, at nAmight in bed,

 togGether. And you wCake in tears sometGimes, I can sAmee the thoughts flash

 across your eGyes. They say "DarCling, will you be kiGnd? Will you be a good

Amman, and stay beGhind if I get oAmld?"

 And then the letCters all pass thGrough my head, with the woCrds that BI Cwas

 tAmold. About the faCding flesh of liGfe and love, the faiCluresB oCf the bAmold. I

 can liCst each crippling fGear like I'm reCading fBroCm a wAmill.

 And I'll dCefyB/C everA/Cyone and G/Clove you stFill. I will caCrryB yCou withA mCe up GevCery

 hFill. If you Amdie before I B/Cdie, I'll carve your nCame B/Cout of the Amsky. I'll Amfall

 asleep with your mB/Cemory and dCream of wB/Chere you lAmie.

 It maybe betCter to move oGn, and to let lAmife just carry Gon. And I may be

 wAmrong. But still, I'll tCry.

 'Cause it's beAmtter to lB/Cove whether you wCin or lB/Cose or Amdie. Yeah, It's beAmtter

 to lB/Cove whether you Cwin or lB/Cose or Amdie. It's bAmetter to lB/Cove, and I will lCove

 you 'B/Ctil I dAmie.

End on C

This is an amazing song, closing an amazing album.

Hope you guys enjoy :)
