Gonna lay my burden down
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
Lay my body in the ground
C#sus2C#sus2 C# minorC#m D MajorD
Cold clay against my skin
A augmentedA E MajorE
But I don't care at all
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
Can't seem to find my piece of mind
BB A augmentedA E MajorE
So with the earth I'll lay entwined
C#sus2C#sus2 C# minorC#m D MajorD
Six feet underground
A augmentedA E MajorE
My feet are warm and dry
Bsus4Bsus4 BB
When I get to the other side
Bsus2Bsus2 BB
I'll put your picture way up high
Bsus4Bsus4 BB
But I'm not coming back to you
Bsus2Bsus2 B minorBm BB E MajorE
It's just too far
If I was cast off on the sea
Would you come and look for me
Or would you just let me sink
Beneath the waves so blue
What if I had learned to fly
Fly all night till day drew nigh
Touch down upon a branch and
Scan the crowd for you
Bsus4Bsus4 BB
When I touch my feet on the land
Bsus2Bsus2 BB
I'll kiss your lips and take your hand
Bsus4Bsus4 BB
But you know I'm not here to stay
Bsus2Bsus2 B minorBm
It's just too far
BB A augmentedA
Darling can't you hear me cry
G+G
My bones are broke
B minorBm
My tongue is tied
D MajorD A augmentedA
The moon is swaying back and forth
C majorC BB
Against the navy sky
F# minorF#m
Is all I can see
G+G B minorBm
My body is trembling on my knees
D MajorD A augmentedA
Just have a little mercy on me
C majorC BB E MajorE
Run away and hide
When I sleep the angels sing
But I cannot hear a thing
Eyes close
Dreaming of better days gone by
When I wake the trumpets play
And I'm standing at the gates
Fall down and joy
I know my race has just been won
When I was young my momma would say
Well life is hard, but that's OK
If you can make it through the day
It's not that far
No, it's not that far
