E  C#m  A   B

                     E
Don't want to go too soon
                       C#m
Don't want to stay too long
                                    A
Don't want to go too quick into the night
                     B
Don't want to linger on and on

                          E
Don't want to leave you a mess
                      C#m
Don't want to cause a fuss
                  A
Roll me into the hole
         B
Cover me up

             A
I'd like to know when it's comin'
              E       C#m
Just a little time to prepare
                  E
When the voice of midnight comes
          A
And into oblivion I stare

                          E
There's no one waitin' on me
             C#m
No heaven or hell
               A
The only vow I make
                     B
To live true and die well

                       E
And when I'm gone, I'm gone
                           C#m
You'll hear my name in the wind
                  A
Up to the great beyond
                   B
Back to where we begin

                       A
Will I hold on to the courage
       E                    C#m
To say goodbye to a life so dear?
                  E
When the voice of midnight comes
             A
Will grace overcome fear?

[Bridge]
       A
I was born under a lucky star
        C#m
And I'm thankful every day
       B
And I know in the blink of an eye
      A             Asus2
It'll all be taken away

[Interlude]
E     C#m    A   B
E     C#m    A   B

              E
Maybe an open field
                    C#m
Under the stars and moon
                       E
With the smell of the land and the air
                   A
Not some hospital room

                        E
I'll take my comfort in song
                   C#m
To the bittersweet end
                       E
And then I'll take my leave
                       A
Safe in the memory of friends

            A
I'd like to know when it's comin'
              E         C#m
Just a little time to prepare
                  E
When the voice of midnight comes
         A        Asus2
I hope you'll be there
