 G 
  
 C                           Am                 
  The walls of our house are thinner than paper.
     Em        G          C            Am 
 The roof is a vapor that hangs in the air
 C                       Am                      
  And our wedding bed is made from the same stuff
 G   Em         G       C  
 Our bodies are ma---de of.
 
 Em7 C                                Bm   
  If no heavy breath blew up these lungs
 G(barre) C
 While dirt and wet spit hung, a ghost in the air--
             D     C    D G 
 Well, we're still here.
 
 C                                  Am             
  While kids and their friends make war by the fire
 G     Em        G       C            Am    C 
 Their old men retire to drink and do dru---gs
 (C)                         Am           
  We long for the truth; we argue about it
 G   Em         G            C       Am    
 But most of us doubt it can ever be found.
 
 Bb D G(barre)
 Is a ship without a captain just as doomed
      C              Am    D 
 As a ship without a cre---w?
           Bb                 D               G    
 `Cause of all my friends who try to tell the truth
           C                Am 
 There are still a faithful few
                 C                  D 
 Who insist they won't know what to do
 
 C                                Bm   
 If no heavy breath blew up these lungs
 G(barre) C
 While dirt and wet spit hung, a ghost in the air--
             D     C    D C 
 Well, we're still here.
             D     C    D C 
 Well, we're still here.
       D     G    
 We're still here.
