[Verse 1]E
I messed up I got nowhere to go
E
I stared at myself in
the mirror alone
E
It's hard to make friends when
you're half in the grave
E
But I ain't dead yet and
A
I got somethin to say
E
Oh-Oh-Oh

[Chorus]B
You got holes in your clothes,
booze on your breath
A
You're lookin like hell and
you smell like death
E
Oh - oh - oh
[Verse 2]E
There's a stranger in my eyes again
E
I swear to God I don't know him
E
I'm tired of me, I'm tired of you
EA
So turn around and leave it to myself
E
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]B
You got holes in your clothes,
booze on your breath
A
You're lookin like hell and
you smell like death
E
Oh - oh - oh

How to play Not Dead Yet: key, chords and progression
These are the chords for Not Dead Yet by Lord Huron on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
Not Dead Yet by Lord Huron keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 4 chords: E, A, B and C#m.
Listen for A – E – B – A (IV – I – V – IV in E major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, G, A, Bm (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
