[Intro]
(x2) C Am F G
(Listen to the song for the fingering thing, walking pattern on the high e string with the pinky.)
C E Am F Am G C
(Trumpet)
[Verse 1]
C
I can no longer discern whether the sun is rising
E
Or if it's setting, inching closer to my own demising
Am F
Becomes so apparent what's important to me
C
You can say it sounds cliche, but friends all come and go away
E
My family's been here to stay, they stuck with me through darker days
Am
When I was brownin out
And fallin' out and fuckin' up
F
They stuck around to help me out
[Verse 2]
C
I don't know maybe they should've
E
Shit ya know I sure as hell would've
Am
I'll never possess the poise
F
It takes to deal with me
C
Cause I'm a thief, a drunk, a cheat, a liar
E
Beneath my deathbed awaits that fire
Am
Cause I've wasted time
F
Tryin to find what's so simple to see
[Verse 3]
C E
That the world's a scary fucked up place
Am G F
To call your home and to navigate
C E
So to the people who compose my compass
F
A few words to you
[Chorus]
Am F G C
Well I know time's runnin out
Am F G C
So before ya lay my body down
Am F
Before ya dress me up
G C Am
And drop me six feet down
C
I wanna make sure that you know
G
I love you and thanks for puttin' up
C
With all my shit
C E Am F Am G C
[Verse 4]
C
We're all just thrown into this world expected to exist
E
To carve a niche and carry on without slitting your wrists
Am
But when the stress is just too much to grasp without any support
F
Your mind will splinter, verging on collapse, you're walking in a corpse
C
When the chips are down it's nice to have somebody in your corner
E
Just to have your back and tell you everything will be alright
Am
It fucking kills me that I've ever taken my loved ones for granted
F Fm
It's true what they say, you don't know what you've got until it's gone
[Verse 5]
C E
The one thing I fear the most
Am F
Is losing anyone I care about
C E
To only ever get to see
Am F
Them smile in old photographs
C E
The scribbles on our epitaphs
Am F
May not be set in stone
C E
I know sometimes it's hard for me to show it
Am G F
But I love you more than you will ever know it
[Chorus]
Am F G C
Well I know time's runnin out
Am F G C
So before ya lay my body down
Am F
Before ya dress me up
G C Am
And drop me six feet down
C
I wanna make sure that you know
G
I love you and thanks for puttin' up
C
With all my shit
[Modified Chorus]
Am F G C
Well I know time's runnin out
Am F G C
So before ya lay my body down
Am F
Before ya dress me up
G C
Commit me to the ground
Am
Wanna make sure that you know I love you, and
G
Thanks for puttin' up with all my (x3)
C
Shit
