Verse 1: Ryan Guldemond with Molly Guldemond
 A                       Dbm
When I see a face of anonymity
  A                              Dbm
Crying on the street, it does something to me
  A              Ab       D
I make believe malady, tragedy

Verse 2: Ryan with Molly Guldemond and Jasmin Parkin
   A                        Db
Flowers on the grave is a beautiful thing
         A                                         D
'Cause flowers on the grave still means they're getting something
                 A                           Ab
But when the flowers ain't there, and the grave is bare
             D
I think of old dead bones that don't get theirs

Chorus: Ryan with Molly Guldemond
             Dbm                 A
I think of all the butchers and all the beef
            Dbm              A
I think of all the flies in all the heat
            Dbm                Dbm       Dbm
I think of all the dying and dying and dying

Post-Chorus: Molly Guldemond with Jasmin Parkin
   D                  A
Dying and dying and decomposing
 Dbm                   D
Dying and dying's for real

Verse 3: Ryan with Molly Guldemond and Jasmin Parkin
      A                          Dbm
Whеn I see the damned in their dire straights
   A                                D
Damning all the men with those American names
              A
I say "don't damn the man, damn your hand
              Ab
For makin' a fist and shaking it all around"
        D                 D
Damn the hand, damn your hand

Chorus 2: Ryan with Molly and Jasmin
             Dbm                    A
Oh, you can damn the butchers and damn the beef
             Dbm               A
Oh, you can damn the flies in all the heat
            Dbm                Dbm        Dbm
Or you can damn the dying and dying and dying

Solo:

Post-Chorus: Molly Guldemond with Jasmin Parkin
   A                  Dbm
Dying and dying and decomposing
  A                    D
Dying and dying's for real
   A                Dbm
Dying and dying and pounds of posy
    A              D
Dying and dying's forever

Bridge: Ryan with Molly and Jasmin:
      A                        B          E
When I hear the crying of a siren in the night
            A                        B                 E
I think of piles of writhing people, fighting for their lives
           A                 Abm
I see an image of a body, broken and beet red
            D                                  Cm Dm Em
I hear the a cappella angels singing for the dead

Outro: Ryan with Molly and Jasmin
             Dbm                      A
I think of all the butchers and all the beef
             Dbm                    A
I think of all the flies in all the heat
            Dbm      C         E              A
I think of all the dirt that lays a bed for bones
            Dbm      C             E              A
I think of all the words that get written on the stones
             Dbm     C            E              A
I think of all the surf that come crashing over souls
             Dbm
I think of all the dying
 Dbm
All the dying
 Dbm
All the dying
 Dbm
All the dying
