Verse 1: C When I die Dm I need a friend who's really ballsy Am To poke holes into my body F G And be kind if you can C And plant a seed in every place Dm I want flowers growing out of my face F G C And bury me in a shallow grave F G C And if the wolves get to me first, well that's okay C And when I die Dm Don't let the government know I'm done Am So they can't hold my rotting corpse F G Over the heads of my loved ones
C And plant a tree, a mushroom or two Dm Whatever I once meant to you F G C But don't let the government know it's true F G C To them I'm off the grid, that's nothing new Chorus: F And I can hope to be a tree C Just like I hope to be someone G But I think hope is just a human thing C And I bet when I'm done F I won't give a fuck, but it's just my luck C That I'm a human now G So please turn me into a garden C As much as nature will allow Verse 2: C And when I die Dm You tell your boss you had a best best friend Am Who came to a quite tragic end F G I hope it wasn't true C But take a day, a week or two Dm To rest or cry but whatever you do F G C Don't let the government know that it's true F G C To them I'm off the grid, that's nothing new C And when I die Dm Will you visit in a year? Am I hope there's roses in my ear F G And a willow in my gut C Take all my things, all that I had Dm I'll prob'ly die a bum, I hope I'm glad F G C I'm sorry if I left anyone sad F G C But I hope I did more good than I did bad Chorus: F And I swear that love's a curse C But it's the best one that we've got G I'm kinda scared to be a lonely tree C I hope that I'm not F But hope is still a human thing C And I'm a human now G So please let's become a forest C As much as nature will allow Outro: F And if you don't wanna be a tree C Well, I'll still love you so G If you're my friend until the end C I guess that's as far as it can go F And I'll be a tree, and you'll turn to ash C Or maybe six feet below G It doesn't matter much F C As long as the government doesn't know
