Intro: (Bm) (A) (G) (D)
Many (D) more miles were behind him
Than he had left to go (D7)
Closing (G) in upon that last one
We all must walk alone
It's the (D) one across the end of the (A7) line
So we held (D) on and we told stories
Of the good and bad in all (D7)
Of the (G) power and the glory
And the lonely days that crawled
He said (D) heaven holds true (A7) love
And a satisfied (D) mind.
He (D/F#) said I (G) ain't afraid of dying
'Cause I (Asus) know there's something (A) worse
When you (D) have to see your (D7) reason (D7/F#) for (G) livin' go first
And you get (Asus) left behind (A)
Some can't (D) think of nothing better (D/F#)
Than to (G) live this life forever
I never (D) wanted no more than was (D/F#) mine (G)
And to (F#m) lay down some(Bm)day and go (G) home
With a (A) satisfied mind.
He said don't (D) look into the darkness
If you want to see true black (D7)
Look in(G)to a morning's brightness
When love ain't coming back
You will (D) find right there a darkness that (A7) blinds
And don't think (D) wealth is ever having
All you want all to yourself (D7)
It is (G) found when you are giving
What you have to someone else
The only (D) difference in the rich and the (A7) poor
Is a satisfied (D) mind.
And one (A) light began to (G) fade
As one grew br(A)ighter
And he said (D/F#) I (G) ain't afraid of dying
'Cause I (Asus) know there's something (A) worse
When you (D) have to see your (D7) reason (D7/F#) for (G) livin' go first
And you get (Asus) left behind (A)
Some can't (D) think of nothing better (D/F#)
Than to (G) live this life forever
I never (D) wanted no more than was (D/F#) mine (G)
And to (F#m) lay down some(Bm)day and (A) go (G) home (A)
Let me (F#m) lay down some(Bm)day and (A) go (G) home
With a (A) satisfied mind.
