D     C           Am      Em
If I die before i get it done,
           G
will you decide.
D         C
Take my words and turn them
Am     Em                G
into signs that will survive.
         D       C
Because a long time ago,
   Am     Em      G
I knew not to deprive.

      D        C              Am         Em
It's safe out there and now you're everywhere,
            G
just like the skies.
D        C                Am       Em
You are love you are the love supreme
              G
You are the rise.

And when you hear this,
                 Am    Em
You'll know its your jam,

you know I'm almost dead,
              Em
you know I'm almost gone.

                C
he's going to play my song,
          Em
to carry me along.

G
Like I said
               C
you know I'm almost dead,
              Em

              G
and when the boatman comes
          C
to ferry me away,
               Em
to where we all belong.

 D     C                    Am      Em
We all crossed, when we were feeling lost,
             G
it's just the tide.
 D     C                   Am   Em
Katari cried, the day her lover died,
        G
she recognized.
          D    C
Because he gave her,
    Am       Em
a life of real love,
         G
it's no surprise.
     D       C
The nights are long,
         Am      Em
but the years are short,
          G
when you're alive.
   D     C           Am      Em
way back when, would never be again,
       G
it was a time.
            D    C
it's gonna catch you,
     Am      Em
so glad i met you,
        G
to walk a line.
