Chords with lyrics
D5D5 they'd hooked you up to a fentanyl drip
D5D5 to mitigate the pain a little bit
D5D5 i flew in from pennsylvania
D5D5 when i heard the hour was coming fast
D5D5 And i docked in santa barbara
D5D5 tried to brace myself
D5D5 but you can't brace yourself
Asus4Asus4 when the time comes you just have to roll with the blast
G+G and i'm an 18-wheeler headed down the interstate
G+G and my brakes are gonna give and i won't know til it's too late
D MajorD tires screaming when i lose control
G+G try not to hurt too many people when i roll
[instrumental]D5D5
D5D5
D5D5 find the harbor freeway and head south
D5D5 real tired, head kind of light
D5D5 i found telegraph road, i'd only seen the name on envelopes
D5D5 found the parking lot and turned right
D5D5 i felt all the details carving out space in my head
D5D5 tropicanas on the walkway neon red
D5D5 between the pain and the pills trying to hold it at bay
Asus4Asus4 stands a traveler going somewhere far away
G+G and i am an airplane tumbling wing over wing
G+G try to listen to my instruments they don't say anything
D MajorD people screaming when the engines quit
G+G i hope we're all in crash position when we hit [instrumental]

Dmaj7Dmaj7 D6sus2 and then came to your bedside
Dsus4Dsus4 and as it turns out
D5D5 i'm not ready
Dmaj7Dmaj7 D6sus2 and as though
D5D5 you were speaking through a thick haze
D5D5 you said hello to me
D5D5 we all stood there around you
D5D5 happy to hear you speak
D5D5 the last of something bright burning
G+G still burning
Asus4Asus4 beyond the cancer and the chemotherapy
G+G and you were a presence full of light upon this earth
G+G and i am a witness to your life and to its worth
D MajorD it's three days later when i get the call
G+G
