Verse 1
E Dsus2 Asus2
I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead,
E Dsus2 Asus2
All dressed up for dinner looked so fine.
E Dsus2 Asus2
Your shining silver salver so tastefully powdered
E Dsus2 A
with the finest milit'ry quick lime.

Verse 2
E Dsus2 Asus2
Now try and picture this, as I gave you a kiss
E Dsus2 Asus2
The apple in your mouth slips in mine.
E Dsus2 Asus2
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade,
E Dsus2 A
We laughed as we put away your wine.
Pre-Chorus 1
B
So raise your glasses,
Asus2 E
Here's a toast to wasted lives,
F#m7alt Emaj7/D# Asus2
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you
B - fill 1 (into chorus)
and tell you how they died
Chorus 1
(B) E(barre) Badd4 Aadd9(fill 2) Badd4
How do you sleep, how do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
E Badd4 Aadd9(fill 2)Badd4
How do you feel when you close your eyes and try to drift away?
Emaj7 F#m7alt Emaj7/D# F#m7alt
Does it feel any better now, does it mean any more?
E F#m7alt Amaj7
When the angel of death comes knock, knocking
B E
And banging at your door?

E Dsus2 Asus2
When all the fun was over, I put you on my shoulder
E Dsus2 Asus2
Took you home away from it all.

Shot down and claimed, mounted and framed
E Dsus2 A
Tastefully hung up on my wall.
Pre-chorus 2

Are my dreams your nightmares?
