This is one of my favorite songs by F.M. so I decided to pick up my
guitar and figure it out.


Anytime when playing a "D" chord in this song, alternate it every
few strums (listen to the song to get the exact rythm) by lifting the index finger
off the string and strumming. The new chord will look like this:

(XX0032)

Intro: D MajorD

D MajorD
If I ever leave this world alive,
G+G                 D MajorD
I'll thank ya' for things you did in my life.

If I ever leave this world alive,
G+G                   D MajorD
I'll come back down and sit beside your feet tonight.
      A augmentedA
Wherever I am, you'll always be.
     B minorBm     G+G
More than just a memory.
   D MajorD        A augmentedA    D MajorD
If I ever leave this world alive.

D MajorD
If I ever leave this world alive,
G+G                  D MajorD
I'll take on all the sadness, that I left behind.

If I ever leave this world alive,
G+G               D MajorD
The madness that you feel will soon subside.
     A augmentedA
So in a word, don't shed a tear.
    B minorBm          G+G
I'll be here when it all gets weird.
   D MajorD   A augmentedA         D MajorD   A augmentedA
If I ever leave this world alive.
