Dm        C/E       F
Under the arc of a weather stain boards
Dm       C/E    F
Ancient goblins and warlords
Dm            C/E         F
Come out the ground, not making a sound
Dm           C/E      F
The smell of death is all around
C                       Dm
And the night when the cold wind blows
C              Dm     A#
No one cares, nobody knows

Chorus:
Dm                  F           C       A#
I don't want to be buried in a pet sematary
Dm               C             A#  C
I don't want to live my life again
Dm                  F           C       A#
I don't want to be buried in a pet sematary
Dm               C             A# C
I don't want to live my life again

Follow Victor to the sacred place
This ain't a dream, I can't escape
Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones
Spirits moaning among the tombstones
And the night, when the moon is bright
Someone cries, something ain't right

Chorus

The moon is full, the air is still
All of a sudden I feel a chill
Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away
Skeletons dance, I curse this day
And the night when the wolves cry out
Listen close and you can hear me shout

Chorus

   Dm C   A#
Oh no, oh no

C               Dm          C A#   C   Dm C   A#
I don't want to live my life again, oh no, oh oh
C               Dm          C A#   C   Dm C   A#
I don't want to live my life again, oh no no no
C               Dm          C A#   C   Dm
I don't want to live my life again, oh oh
