I was looking for this song and couldn't find it on the site. Eventually I found
it on Coulton's wiki page, and thought I could put it here in cause anyone was looking for it.

So you're an elf, but you'd rather be a dentist

Maybe you're a train with square wheels

You once had a wonderful life
G A F#m Bm
Then you lost all your money, you cracked up your car

You yelled at your favorite wife
D G D
You go to bed and you wait for Jacob Marley
G A D
He comes to make you feel brave
G A F#m Bm
But under his cloak he is nothing but smoke
Em A Edim7
And a finger that points at your grave
