Many Gmore miles were behind him than he had left to go
Closing Cin upon that last one that we all must walk alone
It's the Gone across the end of the lineD  
So we held Gon and we told stories of the good and bad in all
Of the Cpower and the glory and the lonely days that crawled
And we prayed Gheaven holds true love  Dand a satisfied minGdAm  Bm  
[Chorus]
He said, I Cain't afraid of dying 'cause I know  Dthere's something worse
When you Ghave to see your Amreason Bmfor living  Cgo first and you get Dleft behind
Some can't Gthink of nothing better than to Clive this life forever
I never Gwanted no more  Bmthan was mineC  
And to Bmlay down someday  Emand go home  Cwith a Dsatisfied mindG  D  
[Verse]
He said, don't Glook into the darkness if you want to see true black
Look in- Cto a morning's brightness when love ain't coming back
And you will Gfind there is a darkness that blindsD  
And don't think Gwealth is ever having all you want all to yourself
It is Cfound when you are giving what you have to someone else
The only Gdifference in the rich and the poor  Dis a satisfied minGdAm  Bm

[Intro]

Bm Em C D G

[Verse]

Many more miles were behind him than he had left to go

Closing in upon that last one that we all must walk alone

G D

It's the one across the end of the line

So we held on and we told stories of the good and bad in all

Of the power and the glory and the lonely days that crawled

G D G Am Bm

And we prayed heaven holds true love and a satisfied mind

[Chorus]

C D

He said, I ain't afraid of dying 'cause I know there's something worse

G Am Bm C D

When you have to see your reason for living go first and you get left behind

G C

Some can't think of nothing better than to live this life forever

G Bm C

I never wanted no more than was mine

Bm Em C D G D

And to lay down someday and go home with a satisfied mind

[Verse]

He said, don't look into the darkness if you want to see true black

Look in- to a morning's brightness when love ain't coming back

G D

And you will find there is a darkness that blinds

And don't think wealth is ever having all you want all to yourself

It is found when you are giving what you have to someone else

G D G Am Bm

The only difference in the rich and the poor is a satisfied mind

[Chorus]

C D

He said, I ain't afraid of dying 'cause I know there's something worse

G Am Bm C D

When you have to see your reason for living go first and you get left behind

Some can't think of nothing better than to live this life forever

G Bm C

I never wanted no more than was mine

Bm Em C D G C

And to lay down someday and go home with a satisfied mind

[Tag]

One light began to fade as one grew brighter

C D

And he said, I ain't afraid of dying 'cause I know there's something worse

When you have to see your reason for living go first and you get left behind

G C

Some can't think of nothing better than to live this life forever
