          they'd hooked you up                  to a fentanyl drip

Dmaj7                        Dsus4               D6sus2    D5
       to mitigate the pain a little bit

Dmaj7          Dsus4   D6sus2                     D5
          i flew in                  from pennsylvania

Dmaj7                                     Dsus4            D6sus2    D5
       when i heard the hour was coming fast

Bm  G                      D5
      And i docked in santa barbara

Bm  G                    D5
      tried to brace myself

Bm  G                         D5
      but you can't brace yourself
        
          Bm         G                                   Asus4
when the time comes      you just have to roll with the blast

           Em                 G
and i'm an 18-wheeler headed down the interstate

       D5                                 A                G
and my brakes are gonna give and i won't know til it's too late

      C                         D
tires screaming when i lose control

           Asus4                        G
try not to hurt too many people when i roll

         find the harbor freeway              and head south

Dmaj7           D6sus2    Dsus4                         D5
          real tired,                  head kind of light

Dmaj7                   D6sus2    Dsus4                               D5
i found telegraph road,                i'd only seen the name on envelopes

Dmaj7               Dsus4  D6sus2                   D5
found the parking lot                    and turned right

Bm  G                      D5
i felt all the details carving out space in my head

Bm  G                      D5
tropicanas on the walkway neon red

Bm  G                      D5
between the pain and the pills trying to hold it at bay

Bm  G                      Asus4
stands a traveler going somewhere far away

  Em                 G
and i am an airplane tumbling wing over wing

       D5                                 A                G
try to listen to my instruments they don't say anything

      C                         D
people screaming when the engines quit

           Asus4                        G
i hope we're all in crash position when we hit

Dmaj7                       D6sus2
     and then came to your bedside

Dsus4
        and as it turns out

D5
i'm not ready

Dmaj7        D6sus2
     and as though

Dsus4                                     D5
        you were speaking through a thick haze

Dmaj7                   D6sus2   Dsus4  D5
      you said hello to me

Bm G            D5
we all stood there around you

Bm G            D5
happy to hear you speak

Bm G            D5
the last of something bright burning

Bm   G
still burning

               Asus4
beyond the cancer and the chemotherapy

           Em                 G
and you were a presence full of light upon this earth

       D5                                 A                G
and i am a witness to your life and to its worth

      C                         D
it's three days later when i get the call

           Asus4                        G
and there's nobody around to break my fall
