[Intro]
DCAm7EmG
(x2)
[Verse 1]
D C Am7 Em G
Live or die before I get it done will you decide?
D C Am7 Em G
Take my words and turn them into signs they will survive
D C Am7 Em G
Because a long time ago I knew not to deprive,
[Verse 2]
D C Am7 Em G
It's safe out there and now you’re everywhere just like the sky
D C Am7 Em G
And you I love you, you are the love supreme you are the ride
D C Am7 Em G
And when you hear this you know it's your jam it's your goodbye
[Chorus]
G
Like I said
C
You know I'm almost dead
Em
You know I'm almost gone
G
And when the drummer drums
C
He's gonna play my song
Em
To carry me along
G
Like I said
C
You know I'm almost dead
Em
You know I'm almost gone
G
And when the boatman comes
C
To ferry me away
Em
To where we all belong
[Verse 3]
D C Am7 Em G
We all cross when we were feeling lost it's just the time
D C Am7 Em G
Could Terry cry the day her lover died she recognized
D C Am7 Em G
Because you gave her a life of real love it's no surprise
D C Am7 Em G
The nights are long but the years are short when you’re alive
D C Am7 Em G
Way back when will never be again it was a time
D C Am7 Em G
It's gonna catch you so glad I met you to walk the line
[Chorus]
G
Like I said
C
You know I'm almost dead
Em
You know I'm almost gone
G
And when the drummer drums
C
He's gonna play my song
Em
To carry me along
[Bridge]

He's gonna play my song
Em
To carry me along
[Outro]
G C Em
Let me live so when it’s time to die even the reaper cries
G C Em
Let me die so when it's time to leave another sun will rise
G
I said yeah!
C
Yeah, yeah!
Em
Yeah yeah!
G
I said yeah!
C
Yeah, yeah!
Em
Yeah yeah!

I said yeah! (Chorus restarts at this point; yeahs continue throughout)
