At last I understand the consequences of my love

Dm G

But how could there be a heaven where they kicked you out

Everybode loves to stick with the winner

couldn't get much thinner 'cause you

You found out how to get down

G7 Gsus2 F

Down like me

C Am

When my self-pity became less than a full-time work

Dm G

I meditated on the methods and the means

and whether or not it would hurt

Then I got a call they found you swinging out over the earth

Dm G

And so over me you win again in finishes, forms,

in finals and in firsts

You finally had to get down

G7 Gsus2 F

Down like me

C Am

"By the time you read this I will no longer be here"

Dm G

I had to read these words to all your family, friends

everybody you never held dear

And I'll maintain an empty chair so you can set in

And we'll never grow old together

You showed 'em how to get down

G7 Gsus2 F
