There’s people searching for a better way To live their lives. Johnny lived a good life you’ll hear them say As tears of sadness soak the ground. The reaper crept in took his breath away In the middle of the night. [Chorus] We celebrate the lives of the dead It’s like a man’s best party only happens when he dies. We gather ’round to pay our respects While their souls are still searching for the light (BACK TO VERSE CHORDS) Searching for the light. [Verse] So please don’t come to me on my dying day Just let me go in peace. With all the things that I forgot to say Still racing through my mind. And don’t you bury me six feet under ground Just burn my body in a box. And let my ashes blow with the wind Out into the night.... sky. [Chorus] We celebrate the lives of the dead It’s like a man’s best party only happens when he dies. We gather ’round to pay our respects While their souls are still searching for the light (BACK TO VERSE CHORDS) Searching for the light. We celebrate the lives of the dead It’s like a man’s best party only happens when he dies. We gather ’round to pay our respects While their souls are still searching for the light (BACK TO VERSE CHORDS) Searching for the light. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sleeping Sickness" Capo 4 I awoke Only to find my lungs empty And through the night So it seems I’m not breathing And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be And I’m breaking down I think I’m breaking down And I’m afraid To sleep because of what haunts me Such as living with the uncertainty That I’ll never find the words to say Which would completely explain Just how I’m breaking down [Chorus] Someone come and someone come and save my life Maybe I’ll sleep when I am dead But now it’s like the night is taking sides With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Could it be this misery will suffice? I’ve become A simple souvenir of someone’s kill And like the sea I’m constantly changing from calm to ill Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole oh how I’m breaking down [Chorus] oooohhh my life Someone come and someone come and save my life (save my life) Someone come and someone come and save my life (save my life) Someone come and someone come and save my life Could it be this misery will suffice? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What Makes A Man" [Intro] () [Verse 1] I can hear my train a comin’ Its a lonesome and distant cry I can hear my train a comin’ Now I’m running for my life What makes a man walk away from his mind? I think I know I think I might know [Verse 2] I can feel the wind blowing Sending shivers down my spine I can feel the wind blowing Shakes the trees and the power lines What makes a man spend his whole life in disguise? I think I know I think I might know [Chorus] What makes a man? (I think I know) What makes a man? (I think I know) What makes a man? Oh oh oh Repeat chords [Verse 3] I can see the sun setting Its casting shadows on the sea I can see the sun setting Its getting colder starting to freeze What makes a man want to break a heart with ease I think I know I think I might know [Chorus] What makes a man? (I think I know) What makes a man? (I think I know) What makes a man? [Verse 4] I can hear my train a comin’ Looks like time is on my side I can hear my train a comin’ I’m still running for my life What makes a man pray when he’s about to die? I think I know I think I might know [Chorus] x2 What makes a man? (I think I might know) What makes a man? (I think I might know) What makes a man? Oh oh oh (End on Am) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Waiting" [Chords] Cmaj7 [332000] Am9 [332200] G6 [330000] F#11b9 [324000] Em [022000] Em11 [554000] A coma might feel better than this attempting to discover where to begin. You’re weighed down you’re full of something. G6-F#11b9 Of sickness and desertion. You’re weighed down you’re full of something G6-F#11b9 you’re underneath it all. So say goodbye to love and hold your head up high. There’s no need to rush we’re all just waiting waiting to die. (Slide the Em11 down to Cmaj7 listen to the track to get the timing) Hoping a better place is all I need with moments of innocence and mystery. Oh it’s the little things you miss. G6-F#11b9 Like waking up all alone. Oh it’s the little things you miss when you’re underneath it all. So say goodbye to love and hold your head up high. There’s no need to rush we’re all just waiting waiting to die. All your friends seem like enemies when you’re broken down and empty. Oooh. All your friends seem like enemies when you’re broken down and empty. Oooh. Em(let ring) G6(let ring) So say goodbye to love Em11(let ring) Cmaj7(let ring and hold your head up high. There’s no need to rush we’re all just waiting waiting to die. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Constant Knot" [Chords] Asus4: 33220X Em: 022030 G: 320033 Gm: 200033 Bm: 024030 [Intro] Asus4 Em E|-----------------------------0-----| B|------------0-------------3---3----| G|----2-2---2---2----0--0-0----------| D|-2--2-2---2--------2--2-2----------| A|-3--3-3---3--------2--2-2----------| E|-3--3-3---3--------0--0-0----------| [Verse 1] Asus4 Em How much would you bet?

While I’m out chasin’ my own dreams Sailin’ around the world Please know that I’m yours to keep my beautiful girl. When you cry a piece of my heart dies knowing I may have been the cause If you were to leave fulfill someone else’s dreams I think I might totally be lost. You don’t ask for no diamond rings No delicate string of pearls That’s why I wrote this song to sing my beautiful girl.
