Intro
Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm
She was just 17
G
Pious and pretty with a deadly disease
Bm E G A
And the weight of the world on her prosthetic shoulder
Bm
And by the summer of '96
G
Her body was cracked like porcelain
Bm E
Just like some precious moments collectible
G D
In a hospital gown and a big bright golden halo...
[Chorus]
Em F#m D Bm G
And so three cheers for my morose and grieving pals
A D Em
And now let's hear it for the tears that i've welled up
F#m D Bm G
We've come too far to have to give it all up now
A D
We live lives that are rich and blessed
D
And we'll burn for how we transgress...
[Instrumental]
Bm G A
Bm G A
[Verse 2]
Bm
Now i've mastered the art
G
Of the open casket prayer and the singing guitar
Bm Em F#m
And i've found the rewards weren't half what i'd hoped for
Bm D
And meanwhile we all feigned hope and mirth
G
As her parents went on and lied to her
Bm
All about the success of the surgeries
Em F#m
And how my ex-girlfriend was now sleeping with her fiancé
[Chorus]
Em F#m D Bm G
And so three cheers for my morose and grieving pals
A D Em
And now let's hear it for the tears that i've welled up
F#m D Bm G
We've come too far to have to give it all up now
A D
We live lives that are rich and blessed
D
And we'll burn for how we transgress...
[Solo]

[Bridge]
Bm
If there's any justice in heaven
A
Then God won't let me in
F#m G
He'll lock the gates and take my weekend pass away
D Bm
With a sympathetic wave they'll see me off
A F#m
Reserve my golden crown while I am cursed to walk the earth for a millenia
G
I know I deserve worse but it terrifies me and I can't take it anymore...
[Chorus]
Em F#m D Bm G
And so three cheers for my morose and grieving pals
A D Em
And now let's hear it for the tears that i've welled up
F#m D Bm G
We've come too far to have to give it all up now
A D
We live lives that are rich and blessed
D
And we'll burn for how we transgress
