Intro:
C-Em-Am
E-Am-F
C Em Am
Come on take me down
E Am F
Once it's lost you know we won't ever have it back
G E F
And there was nothing I could do to change the facts
C G
You know I tried, you know I tried
C Em Am
I threw you all I have
E Am F
I should have known It never falls just where you plan
G E F
And there are rules I was not meant to understand
C G
I should have known, I should known
F C G
Understand I should have known, I should have known
F C
And so I'm giving you the gun
G E
Put your finger on the trigger
F C Am G
I've known you in the morning with your soft eyes dreaming
F C
You were the one
G E
Who could blind me with the mirror
F
And I can't see
G C
And I don't need this no more
C Em Am
You put your love upon the cross
E Am F
You know you sealed it in the darkness all along
G E F
Did you think that I could roll away the stone
C G
I'm just a child, I'm just a child
F C G
You know I tried, I'm just a child, I'm just a child
F C
And so I'm giving you the gun
G E
Put your finger on the trigger
F C Am G
I've known you in the morning with your soft eyes dreaming
F C
You were the one
G E
Who could break me with the whisper
F
And I'm broken
G C
And I won't take your time no more
C Em Am
Mother make my bed
E Am F
A lady shot me and she's left me here to die
G E F
Sit beside me now and promise You won't cry
C G
when I am gone, when I am gone
F C G
You won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone
F C G
Now you won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone
F C G
Now you won't cry when I am gone, when I am gone

Come on take me out
When I am gone you know I'm never coming back
And now there's nothing I could do to change the facts,
You know I tried
You know I tried
I threw you all I had
From the night we spent down Congress Avenue
I should've known that I was never there with you
I should've known
I should've known
Oh with you
I should've known
I should've known
So I'm giving you the gun, put your finger to the trigger
Take me out then in the morning when we're done dreaming
You were the one who could blind me with a mirror
And I'm blinded and I won't take your time no more
And I would've worn your cross
But you sealed it in the darkness all alone
Did you think that I could roll away the stone
I'm just a child
I'm just a child
You know I tried
I'm just a child
I'm just a child
So I've given you the gun put your finger to the trigger
Take me out then in the morning when we're done dreaming
You were the one who could blind me with the mirror
And I'm blinded and I won't take your time no more
Sister, make my bed, if I'm shot
You know I'd hold your hand to die
Sit beside me now and promise you won't cry
When I am gone
When I am gone
Now you won't cry
When I am gone
When I am gone
Now you won't cry
When I am gone
And I am gone
-Vic.
