As I Stand Before The Coffin Chords

Key: Am Intro: Am G Am G Verse 1: Am As I stand before your coffin Am I can't tell what I see G It looks like you from head to toe G But you refuse to breathe Am The color of your skin looks like it was painted on G And I can tell you're tired G But I would kill to see you yawn

Pre-Chorus 1: D Am C 'Cause I've been thinking G D I'd hate to see you go Am C But you can't stop the angels, no G D From taking what you owe Chorus: Am Wait for me in heaven C I'll be just one step behind G I'll be back before you know it D I'll forget I ever cried Am C But I found comfort knowing I was there long before you left G D But we all know the best of stories must come to an end Am C But God, I miss you G D And I'd hate to see you go Am C But you can't stop the angels, no G From taking what you owe Verse 2: Am Often when I think of you, I hope I made you proud G I spent my whole life trying to be a piece of who you are Am I admire you for getting up each time you earned a scar G The coldest nights you laid amongst the snow and lonely stars Pre-Chorus 2: D Am C While you were thinking G D I'll be gone too soon Am C But you can't stop the angels, no G D From saying when you're due Chorus: Am Wait for me in heaven C I'll be just one step behind G I'll be back before you know it D I'll forget I ever cried Am C But I found comfort knowing I was there long before you left G D But we all know the best of stories must come to an end Am C But God, I miss you G D And I'd hate to see you go Am C But you can't stop the angels, no G D From taking what you owe Out-Chorus: Am Wait for me in heaven C I'll be just one step behind G I'll be back before you know it D I'll forget I ever cried Am C But I found comfort knowing I was there long before you left G D But we all know the best of stories must come to an end Am But God, I miss you G And I'd hate to see you go Am C But you can't stop the angels, no G From taking what you owe
