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

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