Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Intro:
FF     C majorC     A minorAm    G+G

 Verse 1:
       FF        C majorC
What would I say if one day I wake
     A minorAm            G+G
All of a sudden, I'm there at that gate
        FF          C majorC
The end of my life, no time for goodbyes
       A minorAm          G+G    E MajorE
And I didn't get to try everything twice

Pre Chorus:
     FF
I'd say, "Why'd it have to be me?
C majorC
Why'd I have to go like this
A minorAm
Know we hardly ever speak
  G+G
But you could've given me notice"
  FF            C majorC
So thank God it's all in my head
     A minorAm             E MajorE
'Cause I ain't done breathing just yet

Chorus:
        FF         C majorC
I hope I don't go before it's my time
       A minorAm            G+G  E MajorE
Before I can show what I'll do with my life
         FF          C majorC
My wife would be sad and keep asking why
        A minorAm                G+G   E MajorE
My mom would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like
        FF          A minorAm
But I hope that someone remembers me well
         C majorC            G+G
That my messed up stories are good ones to tell
       FF        C majorC
Don't get to decide, but if I did
      A minorAm G+G FF       FF
I wouldn't die before I got to live

C majorC A minorAm  G+G
Mm, mm, mm

Verse 2:
    FF       C majorC
I wanna know what it's like
    A minorAm      G+G  E MajorE
To see 91 candles alight
         FF            C majorC
Surrounded by the people who still love me
         A minorAm         G+G
Even though I've never looked so ugly
          FF        C majorC
It's the end of my life and that's fine
  A minorAm            E MajorE
At least I could say my goodbyes

Chorus:
        FF         C majorC
I hope I don't go before it's my time
       A minorAm            G+G  E MajorE
Before I can show what I'll do with my life
         FF          C majorC
My wife would be sad and keep asking why
        A minorAm                G+G   E MajorE
My mom would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like
        FF          A minorAm
But I hope that someone remembers me well
         C majorC            G+G
That my messed up stories are good ones to tell
       FF        C majorC
Don't get to decide, but if I did
      A minorAm G+G FF       FF
I wouldn't die before I got to live

 C majorC  A minorAm G+G
Mm, mm, mm, before I got to live
FF C majorC A minorAm G+G  E MajorE
Mm, mm, mm
