A
If death is pretty final
I'm collecting vinyl
                                    G
I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world!

'Cause if heaven does exist
With a kickin' playlist
I don't wanna miss it at the end of the world!

C
Hey, steady steady
Hey, steady steady
D
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

     E
It's on my mind
It's in my mind
It's what I've found
       D     A
It's what I find

It's on my mind
It's in my mind
It's what I've found
Oh, my my my

            E
"But I'll spin my way right through it"
Claims enthusiast Jack Pruitt
              D          A
As the moths circle the moon

As you're circling the room
The music could provide the light
You cannot resist
You cannot resist
     D        B
You cannot resist

         G
And the weblogs that get tangled
As you willie and you wangle
        A#
In your walk-up in Seattle
Where you fought the nascent battle
     C
And you threw the thread and throttle
Let us raise another bottle
 D
Raise another bottle
Raise another bottle

Because
Death is pretty final
I'm collecting vinyl
I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world!

Hey, steady steady
Hey, steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

It's on my mind
It's in my mind
It's what I've found
It's what I find
It's on my mind
It's in my mind
It's what I've found
Oh, my my my

Hey, steady steady
Hey, steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

Hey, steady steady
Hey, steady steady
I don't wanna go until I'm good and ready

The music could provide the light
You cannot resist
You cannot resist
You cannot resist

Yeah
