Verse
D#m C# D#m
Folks you'd think I'd be happy and delighted
D#m C# D#m
Cause all my dreams are finally coming true
D#m C# D#m
But did I mention all my dreams are nightmares
D#m C# D#m
In my head I feel a storm about to brew
[Verse 2]
D#m C# D#m
The clouds are hovering a mean blue and purple
D#m C# D#m
No sunshine in my life anymore
D#m C# D#m
The spirits are creepin' 'round every corner
D#m C# D#m C#
I'm petrified but I'm unlockin' my door
[Chorus]
D#m B D#m C#
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
D#m B D#m C#
Dear mother goodbye (dear mother goodbye)
G#
These are the only words I say before I die
[Verse 3]
D#m C#
I want an old man priest
D#m C#
And a stormy day
D#m C#
But don't waste money on a casket
D#m C#
I don't deserve a grave
D#m C#
Just cut out my organs
D#m C#
Give 'em to the barely livin'
D#m C#
Turn my body into ashes
D#m C#
And pray my soul's forgiven
[Chorus]
D#m B D#m C#
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
D#m B D#m C#
Dear mother goodbye (dear mother goodbye)
G#
Time is come to pay for what I've done
D#m C#
So goodbye
D#m C#
Goodbye
[Verse 4]
D#m C# D#m
I hear the cracklin' of the thunder
D#m C# D#m
And though my name's not on the list
D#m C# D#m
I'll sport a sharkskin and a splash of aqua velva
D#m C# D#m C#
I'll do a dance of death, give me that kiss
[Outro]
D#m B D#m C#
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
D#m B D#m C#
Dear mother don't cry (dear mother don't cry)
D#m B D#m C#
Oh lo oh lo oh lo
D#m B D#m C#
Whoa oh oh oh oh
D#m B D#m C#
Yadda yadda yadda ah
D#m B D#m C#
Oh no no no no
D#m B D#m C#
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
D#m B D#m C#
Dear mother goodbye (dear mother goodbye)
G#
Time is come to pay for what I've done
D#m C#
So goodbye
D#m C#
Goodbye
