Capo 1 C Am At last I understand the consequences of my love Dm G But how could there be a heaven where they kicked you out C 'cause you kicked out your chair from above Am Everybode loves to stick with the winner Dm G But you showed me the line between victory and dying C couldn't get much thinner 'cause you F You found out how to get down G7 Gsus2F Down like me C Am When my self-pity became less than a full-time work Dm G I meditated on the methods and the means C and whether or not it would hurt Am Then I got a call they found you swinging out over the earth Dm G And so over me you win again in finishes, forms, C in finals and in firsts F You finally had to get down G7 Gsus2F Down like me C Am "By the time you read this I will no longer be here" Dm G I had to read these words to all your family, friends C everybody you never held dear Am We'll keep an empty place at dinner forever Dm G And I'll maintain an empty chair so you can set in C And we'll never grow old together F You showed 'em how to get down G7 Gsus2F Down like me
