[Verse]
D            G      A         D            G     A       D
I returned a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf
           G   A      D
Before the expiration date
D                G      A         D            G     A       D
I came back as a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf 
           G            A    D      D7
Before the date stamped on myself


[Bridge]
G                       G/F#       Em                      D/F#   G
 Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket?
                  A
And was everybody dancing on the casket?


[Chorus]
D                   G                  Em      G            A
 Now it's over, I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
       D      G                Em        C       D   G   A
Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do


[Verse]
D            G       A       D          G     
I will never say the word procrastinate again
     A     D                 G      A       D
I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
D          G   A         D                     G       A       D
 I didn't apologize for when I was eight and I made my younger brother 
        G     A        D       D7
Have to be my personal slave


[Bridge]
G                       G/F#       Em                      D/F#   G
 Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket?
                  A
And was everybody dancing on the casket?


[Chorus]
D                   G                  Em      G            A
 Now it's over, I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
       D      G                Em        C       D   G   A
Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do

So I won't sit at home anymore and you won't
D/F#   D/F#    D/E    D/E G     G     G/F# G/F#
See my head in the window and I won't be  around
A    A  A7/G     A7/G    D/F#            G           A
Ever anymore and I'll be up there on the wall at the store
