• Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:

G Fm C Cm


Verse 1:
G        D        Em
 I won't want for nothing
         C                          G
I been alright, I been okay, I been fine
         G                D        Em
I've had clouds of silver linings, complicated mornings
C#7                           D
Love that left me wanting and hearts that change my mind
G      D        Em
 I can feel the cold front
          C                                   G
I've been chilly, I've been frozen, I've been warm
          G            D        Em
I've felt sympathy and silence, helping hands and guidance
C#7                           D
Happiness and anger since the day that I was born

Chorus:
     G        G/F#     Em
When this old world is done with me
C                      G
 Just know I came this far
      B7              Em
To be broken up in pieces
Am                   D
Scatter me among the stars
     G        G/F#     Em
When this old world is done with me
G#                Am
  When I close my eyes
  Cm               G D   Em
Release me like an ocean wave
  C#m     D      C    G
Return me to the tide


Instrumental:
G Fm C Cm


Verse 2:
G        D         Em
 None of this came easy
    C                            G
The shadows, the curtain, or the light
    G               D           Em            D
The pain inside the living, the taming of the demons
   C#7                        D
No longer any reason left for me to find


Chorus:
    G        G/F#     Em
And when this old world is done with me
C                      G
 Just know I came this far
      B7              Em
To be broken up in pieces
Am                   D
Scatter me among the stars
     G        G/F#     Em
When this old world is done with me
G#                Am
  When I close my eyes
  Cm               G D   Em
Release me like an ocean wave
  C#m     D      C    G
Return me to the tide
  G       G/F#        Em
Release me    like an ocean wave
  C#m     D      G    C Cm G
Return me to the tide
