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
