String Break Song

G Em C D Everything breaks down eventually Em C D It's all just a matter of entropy G Em C D Thermodynamics and gravity G Em C D We're all gonna fall in the end G Em C D When you play the record the needle gets dull G Em C D It's tragically irreversible G Em C D You know some erosion's inevitable G Em C D When you rub up against the world C You're locked in a box, try to hold your breath G Conserve what remains of the air that's left C If you don't breathe, you'll smother yourself D But every inhale brings you closer to death G Em C D Everything breaks down eventually G Em A C D We're all decomposing gradually G Em C D Into atoms and cells and vanity G Em C D All our constituent parts G Em C D You can't make sparks without friction G Em C D Or music or love or nonfiction G Em C D That's just the price of admission G Em C D You can't ride the ride without wearing it out C Still locked in a box, try to hold your breath G Conserve what remains of the air that's left C If you don't breathe, you'll smother yourself D But every inhale brings you closer to death C D Chaos is going to win in the end G Am The universe is flying apart C D There ain't nothing much you can do about it G Am Burn up the candle or live in the dark C D Burn up the candle or live in the dark G Am Burn up the candle or live in the dark C D G Burn up the candle or live in the dark Am C D G Am C G Am C G
