[Verse 1]
D MajorD
My last breath

I wanna take with a smile

When I'm gone
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
Tell them I laughed more than I shed tears
G+G
When I'm gone
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
Tell them I stared down all my fears
G+G D MajorD
That I danced on a wire and I walked through the fire
A augmentedA B minorBm
That I lived every moment till that moment retired

So my life goes on, goes on when I'm gone

(Oh, oh, oh) when I'm gone

A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
But it never left my soul

If the house was packed and all raised a glass as the credits rolled
