G And if your heart stops beating D I'll be here wondering Em C Did you get what you deserve? G The ending of your life and if you get to heaven D I'll be here waiting, babe Em C Did you get what you deserve? Am The end, and if your life wont wait C D Then your heart can't take this G D Have you heard the news that you're dead? C No one ever had much nice to say D D7 I think they never liked you anyway G D Oh take me from the hospital bed C Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what you planned. D And wouldn't it be great Dsus2 G If we were dead? G Ohh dead. G Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish D You never fell in love Em C Did you get what you deserve? G The ending of your life G And if you get to heaven D I'll be here waiting, babe Em C Did you get what you deserve? Am The end, and if your life won't wait C D Then your heart can't take this G D Have you heard the news that you're dead? C No one ever had much nice to say D D7 I think they never liked you anyway G D Oh take me from the hospital bed C Wouldn't it be grand to take a pistol by the hand? D And wouldn't it be great Dsus2 If we were dead? Bridge: Am C And in my honest observation Am During this operation C G D Found a complication in your heart Am C G D So long, 'cause now you've got -now you've got- Em Maybe just 2 weeks to live Em D Is that the most the both of you can give? Interlude: G D Em C One, two, one two three four! G la la la la la! D la la la la la la! C D la la la la la la la! Well come on, G la la la la la! D la la la la la la! C D la la la la la la la! Oh motherxxxxer, G If life ain't just a joke -la la la la la!- D Then why are we laughing? -la la la la la la!- C If life ain't just a joke -la la la la la!- D Then why are we laughing? G If life ain't just a joke -la la la la la!- D C Then why are we laughing? -la la la la la la!- D If life ain't just a joke -la la la la la!- G Then why am I dead? G DEAD!
yesssss i love this song. For all the emo children who have good christian parents and didn’t know, we get a reunion tour.
playing mcr on ukulele is my aesthetic this is amazing
For the final DEAD! you have to do a single down strum and mute it right after. Just something I like to do and personally I think its sounds great when you do it like that.
For the verse I do: pluck C string, then pluck all four strings on off beat (1, 3) for the rest of the chord. For the chorus I do D DU UDU. At the end of the first chorus (“…dead!”) I strum down on dead once then mute. Before the next verse, there is a small guitar part, and I just do an UDUD. Repeat, then at the bridge I do a simple ‘UDUDUDU, starting on the + after the 1st beat (as in 1+2+3+4+). For the solo, I just do D D D D, and when the vocal picks back up, I do D DU through the end.
Only on the inside haha
It’s funny that I broke my pic the other day cuz I play emo songs and it makes my I get hurt cuz I strum so hard
I’m a beginner so I don’t really know but I use DDUU (Down Down Up Up) Then when it goes to the lalala I just use DDDD and just keep doing that until the lyrics are “If life ain’t just a joke.” Then use DDUU again. Sorry this is late I am new to this site.
is only dead from the inside . . .
Omg yassss. love this. one day I’m going to perform this song somehow!! So good!!! 😀
I love it on the ukulele
