Dont want to go too soon
                       C#mDont (x13321@4)want to stay too long
                                    ADont (x02220@1)want to go too quick into the night
                     BDont (x2444x@1)want to linger on and on

Dont want to leave you a mess
Dont want to cause a fuss
Roll me into the hole
Cover me up

AId (x02220@1)like to know when its comin
              E (022100@1)     C#mJust (x13321@4)a little time to prepare
                  EWhen (022100@1)the voice of midnight comes
          A (x02220@1)                        
And into oblivion I stare

E (022100@1)    
Theres no one waitin on me
             C#mNo (x13321@4)heaven or hell
               AThe (x02220@1)only vow I make
                     BTo (x2444x@1)live true and die well

And when Im gone, Im gone
Youll hear my name in the wind
Up to the great beyond
Back to where we begin

AWill (x02220@1)I hold onto the courage
       E (022100@1)                  C#mTo (x13321@4)say goodbye to a life so dear
                  EWhen (022100@1)the voice of midnight comes
             AWill (x02220@1)grace overcome fear

(Bridge)

        C#mAnd (x13321@4)Im thankful every day
       BAnd (x2444x@1)I know in the blink of an eye
         A (x02220@1)              Asus2It (x02200@1)will all be taken away

Maybe an open field
                    C#mUnder (x13321@4)the stars and moon
                                    EWith (022100@1)the smell of the land and the air
                      AAnd (x02220@1)not some hospital room

Ill take my comfort in song
To the bittersweet end
And then Ill take my leave
Safe in the memory of friends
