[Ab] _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] [Bb] Gonna lay _ [Eb] my burden down, _ lay my _ body in the ground _
_ Cold clay [Db] against my [Ab] skin, I don't [Eb] care at all
_ [Ab] _ [Ebm] _ _ Can't [Eb] seem to find my peace of mind
So [Bb] with the ink [Eb] I lay entwined _
Six feet _ [Ab] underground, my feet are [Eb] warm and dry
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] When I get to the other side, I'll put your [Bb] picture way [Ab] back
[Eb] But I'm [Bb] not coming back to [Ebm] you, it's just too far
_ It's just [Bb] too [C] far
[Eb] If _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I was cast out on the sea _
Would you come and look at me? _ _
Or [Cm] would [Db] you just let [Ab] me sink beneath the waves [Eb] so blue? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ What if I had a limit to fly?
Fly [Bb] all [Eb] night until day and you're night _
[Cm] I'd perch down [Db] upon a [Ab] branch, stand proud [Eb] for you _ _ _ _ _
When I touch my feet on the land, I'll kiss your [Bb] lips and take your _ hand
You know I'm not here to stay, it's [Ebm] just too far
[Bbm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ Darling, [Ab] can't you hear me cry, my [Gb] bones are [Bbm] broke
My tongue is tired, the moon is [Ab] swaying back and forth
[B] Against the [Bb] navy sky, it's [Ab] all that I can see
[Gb] My body's [Bbm] trembling, on my knees
Have [Ab] a little mercy on me, [Abm] [Ebm] run away [Bb] and hide
[Eb] When _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I sleep, the angels sing
But I cannot hear a thing _ _
Eyes [Db] closed, dreaming [Ab] of the bad [Eb] days gone by
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ When I _ wake, the trumpets play
And [F] I'm [Eb] standing at the _ _ gates
_ Falling [Ab] in joy, I know my race has [Eb] just been run
It's just been [Ab] run
[Bb] When I was young, my mama'd say, your [Eb] life is [Bb] hard, but that's okay
_ You can make it through the day, it's [Ebm] not that far
[Ab] _ _ No, [Bb] it's not that far
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
