verse 1:
C
Well, every living organism at one time was dust
C
An assemblage of atoms from our atmosphere and crust
F
These bits they come together, but only for a time
F
From that very first self-replicator oozing from the slime
G
We exist and then we don't, that's just how we do and...
C
Everyone you know someday will also be dead too
F
We're all gonna die
C
We're all gonna die
F C
It's the one sure thing on which every living thing can rely
F
We're all gonna die
C
We're all gonna die
F
Everyone so far has died too
F
There's not a thing that you can do
F G
And you and me and us we're all gonna dieeeeeeee!
verse 2:
C
Well, many folks will hope that there's a way out of this song
C
That if we think real hard and act real tough somehow we'll get along
F
We'll fix those telomeres, digitize our brains
F
Freeze our dying bodies 'till the remedy's attained
G
Well, I have some bad news for you, you can't outrun the hearse,
C
The explosion of the sun or heat death of the universe
F
We're all gonna die
C
We're all gonna die
F C
It's the one sure thing on which every living thing can rely
F
We're all gonna die
C
We're all gonna die
F
The singularity won't save you
F
There's not a thing that you can do
F G
And you and me and us we're all gonna dieeeeeeee!
verse 3:
C
The marvelous truth of it all is that death is such a gift
C
Because the only reason we can die is that we even live
F
The improbability of life and you and me and us
F
That we exist at all to sniff and kiss and taste and hear and touch
G
We've used our minds to make so many awesome things somehow
C
Including all of the words in the song you're listening to right now
F
We're all gonna die
C
We're all gonna die
F C
It's the one sure thing on which every living thing can rely
F
We're all gonna die
C
We're all gonna die
F
It's the one thing you can't live through
F
There's not a thing that you can do
F G C
And you and me and us we're all gonna di-i-i-i-i-ie
