          they'd hooked you up                  to a fentanyl drip

when the time comes      you just have to roll with the blast

         find the harbor freeway              and head south

Dmaj7           D6sus2    Dsus4                         D5
          real tired,                  head kind of light

Dmaj7                   D6sus2    Dsus4                               D5

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

     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
