Verse:

G                           Bm
I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagine
G                                Bm
Your pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gun
            C                           G          D
And I don't know you'll be the first to welcome me
C                  G       D
When I climb into eternity
C   G
Oh, oh

G                 Bm
The forest always kept us warm
G                        Bm     
But it doesn't feel like home anymore
            C                             G             D
And I don't know there's bigger mountains where you are
C                    G            D
And a better climate for my heart
C   G
Oh, oh


Chorus:
          C
I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam
     Em                 D
I am ready for my final symphony
      C
Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong
     Em                   D
I am ready to rest in your arms


Verse:
G                   Bm
Though many battles I have won
G                         Bm
I lost too many friends I could count on
            C                            G          D
And I don't know they'll be the first to welcome me
C                      G       D
When I parachute into eternity
C   G
Oh, oh


Chorus:

          C
I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam
     Em                 D
I am ready for my final symphony
      C
Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong
     G                    D
I am ready to rest in your arms


Bridge: (x2)

        G                     C
And the rain beat down on the rooftops
                 Em
But there was no sound
             D
There was no sound
           G                   C
And all my friends and family carried me
                Em
They carried me home
                D
They Carried me home 


Chorus:

              C
Oh, I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam
     Em                 D
I am ready for my final symphony
      C
Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong
     Em                    D
I am ready to rest in your arms
