  			INTRO 
         Em7             Em6              C/G 
They'll come a time when all of us must leave here 
         B            B7         Em 
Then nothing Sister Mary can do can keep me here with you 
         Em7             Em6                C/G 
There's nothing in this life that I've been trying 
      B          B7              Em 
Can equal or surpass the art of dying 
B                    Em 
Do do do do, do you believe me? 
 
They'll come the time when all your hopes are fading 
When things that seem so very plain, become an awful pain 
Searching for the truth among the lying 
And answer when you will learn the art of dying 
Do do do do, are you still with me? 
 
Chorus: 
E                         A 
Do do do do, but if you want it 
Ao7                         Em 
Do do do do, then you must find it 
E                          A 
Do do do do, but when you have it 
Ao7                               Em 
Do do do do do do, they'll be no need for it 
 
REPEAT INTRO 
 
They'll come a time when most of us return here 
Brought back by our desire to be a perfect entity 
Living through a million years of crying 
Until you realize the art of dying 
Do do do do, do you believe me? 
Do do do do, do you believe me? 
 
REPEAT INTRO
