Cm I hope you're sitting comfortably I saved you the best seat in the house Right up in the front row The stars have been torn down The moon is locked away And the land is banked in frozen snow You are a force of nature, dear Your breath curls from your lips As the trees bend down their branches And touch you with their fingertips Chorus: G# G# G They are bringing out the dead now Cm It's easy just to look away G# G# G They are bringing out the dead now Cm It's been a strange, strange day We could navigate out position by the stars But they've taken out the stars The stars have all gone I'm glad you've come along We could comprehend our condition by the moon But they've ordered the the moon not to shine Still, I 'm glad you've come along I was worried out of my mind Chorus: 'Cause they keep bringin' out the dead now And it's easy just to look away They're bringin' out the dead And it's been a long, strange day You can move up a little closer I will throw a blanket over We can weigh all the tears in one hand Against the laughter in the other We could be hanging around here for centuries Trying to make sense of this, my dear While the planets try to get organised Way above the stratosphere Chorus: But they keep bringin' out the dead, now And it's easy if we just walk away 'Cause they keep bringin' out the dead, now It's been a long, long day You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsCm  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
