[A] [Dm] You [Am] breathe [D] it [C] in my mouth I'll take it, [G] I'll [A] take it from you
[Dm] You [A] wanna [D] sing, then [C] sing it from me You got something [G] [A] left to say
[B] [A]
Untimely, [D] you were [C] taken away Unlikely, [A] out of time
[B] When you [A] still got [D] so [C] much to say I'll write a [Em] song for you
But [G] oh, what a way to go So peaceful, [Em] you're smiling
Oh, what a way to go [G] I'm with you, [A] I'm singing
[Dm] You said [Am] [B] there's a [C] special place Out of scaring [G] the [Am] shit out of me
In Memphis [Dm] on [C] Valentine's Day You wrote there in [G] a [Am] letter to me
Well, I wish I had given [Dm] you [C] more time To say thank you, [G] my [Am] beautiful friend
But sometimes [Dm] you gotta [C] send it away To bring it, to bring [Em] it back again
[C] But [G] oh, what [Em] a way to go So peaceful, you're smiling

Wish that we were [Am] ready, [D] we were ready [C] to go
When you still got so [G] much [A] to say [Dm] Somehow [Am]
I [Dm] know you're driving [C] slow
Receiving just [Em] everything [G] But oh, [Em] what a way to go
So [G] peaceful, [Em] you're smiling Oh, [G]
