Key: A
[Verse 1]
G
 No one told the birds
                Cadd9
 the world was ending
  Dadd4/C  Cadd9
G
 So they keep singing
            Cadd9
 like it's spring
  Dadd4/C  Cadd9
G
 I walk with Colin
       Cadd9
after dinner
  Dadd4/C  Cadd9
           G
We split a coke and
watch the sunset do
     Cadd9
 its thing
Dadd4/C  Cadd9

[Verse 2]
    Am
The church around the
                  D
 corner is having service
on the lawn
            Em
And drawing pictures
                    Cadd9
on the pavement in pastel
 sidewalk chalk
   Am
Of doves and palms and
               D
 cartoon Jesus dying
on the cross
         Cadd9
I say he must be running
             Cm
 late and we sorta
laugh it off
[Chorus]
                      G
I've been having that dream
           D      Cadd9
 where I'm dying again
                    G
The one where I get sick
  D               Cadd9
   and we can't afford it
                   G
I've been walking around
              D
 here with no health
   Cadd9
insurance
                  G
And we can barely keep
      D               Cadd9
 the lights on as it is

[Instrument]
 G    G    Cadd9 Cadd9
 G    G   Cadd9 Cadd9

[Verse 3]
G
 Start the truck,
             Cadd9
I named her Chelsea
 Dadd4/C  Cadd9
G
 I'm up and out before
     Cadd9  Dadd4/C  Cadd9
the sun
G
 A pack of smokes,
             Cadd9
gas station coffee
  Dadd4/C  Cadd9
                 G
That tastes like shit
and doesn't even wake
    Cadd9  Dadd4/C  Cadd9
me up

[Verse 4]
     Am
Some guy I knew from high
                 D
school got me a job here
with his dad
       Em
So now I install garage
              Cadd9
 doors on the south shore
while it lasts
        Am
And my skin looks like
                     D
 a minefield, the mosquitos
 got me bad
        Cadd9
But I'm happy for the work,
  Cm
 that's where I saw Sam

[Bridge]

"I thought that you got
 Gadd11         Gadd9
 out of here in high school
          Am
I can't believe that
           C
 you came back"
           Gadd11
You said, "We should
       Gadd9
get a drink soon
               Am
I'll catch you up
           C
on all of that"
         Am
I said, "I get paid on
          C
 Fridays, meet me
down at Jack's"

[Chorus]
I've been having that
 G               D
 dream where I'm dying
  Cadd9
 again
                    G
The one where I get sick
  D               Cadd9
   and we can't afford it
                   G
I've been walking around
              D
 here with no health
   Cadd9
insurance
                  G
And we can barely keep
     D               Cadd9
the lights on as it is

[Outro]
                      G
I've been having that dream
 where I'm dying again
The one where I get sick
 and we can't afford it
