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