Intro:

G D6add9/F# Em C Dadd4add9 G x2



Verse :

G       D6add9/F# Em
When my time has come
        C           Dadd4add9 G
And the long doggone days are done
              D6add9/F#    Em
Like stagnent smoke in the breeze, I'll blow
         C        Dadd4add9  G
And I'll think of you when I go
      D6add9/F#   Em
I'll become a silhouette
  C             Dadd4add9          G
A shadow of the stars, in dust and haze
           D6add9/F#     Em
But you'll taste me with each cigarette
         C          Dadd4add9 G
And like me, you'll like the place

Pre-Chorus:

C           D                G
For now you know that all my time is for you
     C                D                G
Your words and smiles collecting in my brain
C            D              G
Just hold on tight, love me like I'm twenty two
       C                  D               G
When I die there won't be no more burning pain

Chorus:

         C  G   Em     G  D
When the reaper starts to grin
         G  D6add9/F#   Em    D    C
When you finally        leave your skin
  C     G    Em  G  D
I swear it's not so grim
            G
When it's over



Verse :

G       D6add9/F#     Em
Life is like a yellow bird
            C             Dadd4add9          G
Filled with endless moral search and nothing found
              D6add9/F#           Em
Just like the songs I know you've heard
    C                Dadd4add9         G
The tunes our bodies made the sweetest sound

Pre-Chorus:

C           D                G
So yeah you know that all my time is for you
     C                D                G
Your words and smiles collecting in my brain
C            D              G
Just hold on tight, love me like I'm twenty two
           C                  D               G
And when I die there won't be no more burning pain

Chorus:

         C   G  Em   G    D
When the lyrics stop your heart
        G   D6add9/F#   Em    D  C
Like an abstract        piece of art
     C     G  Em    G  D           G
When begin to start to start, it over

         C  G   Em     G  D
When the reaper starts to grin
         G  D6add9/F#   Em    D    C
When you finally        leave your skin
  C     G    Em  G  D
I swear it's not so grim
            G
When it's over
