Intro:
D C Am7 Em G (x2)

Verse 1:
D       C            Am7    Em              G
Live or die before I get it done will you decide? 
D       C                   Am7  Em              G
Take my words and turn them into signs they will survive 
          D    C       Am7 Em          G
Because a long time ago I  knew not to deprive, 

Verse 2:
     D        C                    Am7  Em                  G
It's safe out there and now you’re everywhere just like the sky
    D     C                     Am7    Em                G
And you I love you, you are the love supreme you are the ride 
            D     C                 Am7  Em                G
And when you hear this you know it's your jam it's your goodbye

Chorus:
G
Like I said 
             C
You know I'm almost dead
              Em
You know I'm almost gone 
             G             
And when the drummer drums
           C
He's gonna play my song 
         Em
To carry me along 

G
Like I said 
             C
You know I'm almost dead
              Em
You know I'm almost gone 
             G             
And when the boatman comes
         C
To ferry me away 
           Em
To where we all belong

Verse 3:
D      C                  Am7     Em                 G
We all cross when we were feeling lost it's just the time 
      D     C              Am7   Em            G
Could Terry cry the day her lover died she recognized 
            D    C             Am7 Em               G
Because you gave her a life of real love it's no surprise 
    D          C            Am7       Em                 G
The nights are long but the years are short when you’re alive
D        C               Am7 Em            G
Way back when will never be again it was a time
           D     C             Am7 Em               G
It's gonna catch you so glad I met you to walk the line

Chorus:
G
Like I said 
             C
You know I'm almost dead
              Em
You know I'm almost gone 
             G             
And when the drummer drums
           C
He's gonna play my song 
         Em
To carry me along

You know I'm almost dead
              Em
You know I'm almost gone 
             G             
And when the drummer drums
           C
He's gonna play my song 
         Em
To carry me along 

Outro:
G                        C                    Em
Let me live so when it’s time to die even the reaper cries
G                       C                     Em
Let me die so when it's time to leave another sun will rise 
      G
