Bright Eyes - On My Way To Work Chords

[Intro]
D G#m
D G#m A
 
[Verse 1]
           G                    G#m
There is a car parked where the block begins
              A
And there are people singing praises
           D D/C# Bm      A
Say, "It's all because of him"
               G                 G#m
And there is a bird perched on a frayed, wet wire
              A
And his voice sings out for a lover
         D D/C#  Bm     A
But it's covered by the choir
   G                              A
Of voices reaching way beyond the rafters
       G                                 A
With devotion, they perform these sacred tasks
     G                                   A
They cross themselves and offer up their checkbooks
       G                            A
Slight suffering is not too much to ask
 
[Chorus]
N.C.                       D
Besides, we all are making money
                       A
And we are all f**king alone
                              G
And we don't know what we are doing
                          A
Maybe just buying us some hope
                            D
Because we know that we are lonely
                         A
Yeah, lonely, that's for sure
                       Gm
And the older ones are coughing
                       Amaj7
And the older ones are dying
                 E G
Maybe we are all dying

[Verse 2]
         G               G#m
I pass a graveyard on my way to work
            A
Today I saw two dozen white roses
     D     D/C# Bm       A
On a fresh new  mound of dirt
      G                  G#m
And I wondered about the occupant
         A
When the darkness finally swallowed him
    D  D/C# Bm     A
Was he calm and content?
          G                              A
Or was he sweating in a struggle to keep breathing
        G                                 A
Ripping apart the sheets that dressed his bed
G                              A
Crying out loud for someone to help him
       G                                 A
And collapsing on his back, all pale and dead?
 
[Chorus]
N.C.                       D
Maybe it's me who's this unstable
                          A
Always obsessed about the end
                             Gm
Why can't I let what happens happen?
                          A
And just enjoy the time I spend
                         D
Oh, how I wish it was so easy
                                 A
But when there is no point to anything
                    Gm
It can get a bit confusing
                   D
Why is that I keep going?
                    Em G
Why is that we keep going?
