Intro: B D E
B
The doctor says I'm dying
I die a little every day
Bm
But he's got no prescription that could
Take my death away
E
The doctor says it don't look so good
B
It's terminal
B
Some folks die in offices one day at a time
Bm
They could live a hundred years
But their soul's already dead
E
Don't let your spirit die before your body does
B Bm
We're terminal, we're terminal
E
We're terminal
B
We are, we are the living souls
Bm
With terminal hearts, terminal parts
E
Flickering like candles, shimmering like candles
G A B
We're fatally flawed, we're fatally flawed
B
Whenever I start cursing at the traffic or the phone
Bm
I remind myself that we have all got cancer in our bones
E
Don’t yell at the dead, show a little respect
B
It’s terminal, it's terminal
B
We are, we are the living souls
Bm
With terminal hearts, terminal parts
E
Flickering like candles, shimmering like candles
G A B
We're fatally flawed, we're fatally flawed

Fatally flawed, Fatally flawed
The moment I start cursing
At the traffic or the phone
I remind myself that we have all got
Cancer in our bones
Don't yell at the dead
Show a little respect
It's terminal
"Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
For our days here are like grass
We flourish like a flower of the field
The wind blows and it is gone
And its place remembers it no more
Naked we came from our mother's womb
And naked we will depart
For we bring nothing into the world
And we cant take nothing away"
We're fatally flawed in the image of God.
