The Graveyard Near The House easy guitar chords by
The Airborne Toxic Event
The Airborne Toxic Event

N/A
Verse 1
D
A
Bm
D

The other day when we were walking
A

by the graveyard near the house

You asked me if I thought
D
Bm

we would ever die
D

And if life and love both fade
A

so predictably

We've made ourselves a kind
Bm

of predictable lie
D
And so I pictured
Verse 2

us like corpses
A

Lying side by side in pieces

In some dark and lonely plot
Bm

under a bough
D

We looked so silly there all decomposed
A

Half turned to dust in

tattered clothes

Though we probably look

just as silly now
Bm
Verse 3

G

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,
D
A

bye to all this dog- eared innocence
G

I can't pretend that I can tell you what
D
A
Bm

is going to happen next or how to be
D
A
G

But you have no idea about me
D

Do you?
Verse 4
D


And it left me to wonder if
A

people ever know each other
D
A

Or just stumble around like strangers
Bm

in the dark
D

'Cause sometimes you seem so strange to me,
A

I must seem strange to you

We're like two actors playing
Bm

our parts
Verse 5
D

Did you memorize your lines?

'cause I did
A

Here's the part where I get so mad I
Bm

tell you I can't forget the past
D

You get so quiet now and you seem
A

somehow like a lost and lonely child

And you just hope that the
D
Bm

moment won't last
A
Bye, bye, bye,
Verse 6
G

bye, bye,
D
A

bye to all this dogged innocence
G

I can't pretend that I can tell you what
D
A
Bm

is going to happen next or how to be
D
A
Bm
A
G

But you have no idea about me
D
A
G

You have no idea about me
D

Do you?
Verse 7
D

G

So there's always a
D

way around
G

There's something tying our
D

feet to the ground
A

A moment passed we hear how
Bm

it sounds
D
A
Bm
A

Then it seems a little less profound
G
D

Like we're all going
A
G

the same way down
D

Yeah we're all going
A
G

the same way down
A

I'm just trying to write it all down
G
Verse 8

D
A

'Cause I write songs and you write letters
G
A

We are tied like two in tethers
D
A

And we talk and read, and laugh and sleep
G
A

At night in bed to gether
D
A

And you wake in tears sometimes
G

I can see your thoughts flash
A

across your eyes
D
A

They say darling will you be kind,
G
A

will you be a good man and stay behind

If I get old?
Bm
Verse 9

G

And then the letters all pass
A

through my head
Bm

With the words that I was told
G
A

About the fading flesh of

life and love
Bm

The failures of the bold
G
A

I can list each crippling fear like I'm

reading from a will
Bm
Verse 10

D
A
G

And I'll defy everyone and love you still
D
A
G

I will carry you with me up every hill
A

And if you die before I die I'll carve
D
Bm

your name out of the sky
G
A

I'll fall asleep with your memory and
D
A
Bm

dream of where you lie
D
A

Maybe better to move on and to let life
G
A

just carry on and I may be wrong
Bm
Verse 11

D

Still I'll try
G
A

'Cause it's better to love,
Bm

whether you win or lose or die
G
A

It's better to love,
Bm

whether you win or lose or die
G
A

It's better to love,
Bm

and I will love you 'til I die

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
