    [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

    [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
