 CI spent the morning at an old friend's grGave
Flowers and AAmmazing Grace, he was a Emgood Dman
  AmHe spent his whole life spinnin' his Gwheels
CNever knowin' how the Emreal thing Dfeels
CHe never took a Gchance or took the Emtime to Ddance
And I Emstood there Cthinking as I Gsaid goodDbye
  AmToday is the Gfirst day of the Crest of my Dlife

I'm gonna sGtop lookin' back anCd start movin' Amon
And lEmearn how to face my Dfears
Love with Gall of my Emheart, make my Ammark
I Ewanna leave something heDre                                     
Go Cout on a ledge, Gwith out any net, EmThat's what I'm gonna be aAmbout
