D A Em7 G
[Verse 1]
D
The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind
A
When the here and the hereafter momentarily align
Em7
See the need to speed into the lead suddenly declined
G
The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind
[Instrumental]
D A Em7 G
[Verse 2]
D
And as much as we might like to seize the reel and hit rewind
A
Or quicken our pursuit of what we're guaranteed to find
Em7
When the dying's finally done and the suffering subsides
G
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind
G
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind
[Chorus]
Em7
Nights that won't happen
Bm
Time we won't spend
Em7
Time we won't spend
Bm
With each other again
Bm
With each other again
[Instrumental]
D A Em7 G
[Verse 3]
D
Ghosts are just old houses dreaming people in the night
A
Have no doubt about it, hon, the dead will do alright
Em7
Go contemplate the evidence and I guarantee you'll find
G
The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind
[Chorus]
Em7
Nights that won't happen
Bm
Time we won't spend
Em7
Nights that won't happen
Bm
Never ever again
Em7
Nights that won't happen
Bm
Never reaching the end
Em7
Nights that won't happen
Bm
Never even begin
Bm
Never even begin
[Instrumental]
D A Em7 G
D A Em7 G
[Verse 4]
D
This world is like a roadside inn and we're the guests inside
A
And death is a black camel that kneels down so we can ride
Em7
And when the dying's finally done and the suffering subsides
G
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind
G
All the suffering gets done by the ones we leave behind
[Chorus]
Em7
On nights that won't happen
Bm
Time we won't spend
Em7
Time we won't spend
Bm
With each other again
Em7
Nights that won't happen
Bm
Never reaching the end
Em7
Nights that won't happen
Bm
We can't even begin
Bm
We can't even begin
