Intro: C F C F C F Dm G
C F C F
There's somethings you never get over
C F Dm G
Whatever your parents say
C F C F
First on my list of these three things
Dm F
Is the sight of my father walking away
C F C F
Next on my list would be heaven
C F Dm G
I already know what it's like
C F C F Dm F
Cause I fell in love when I was 16 with the absolute love of my life
C F C F
Last on my list would be losing
C F Dm G
But someone always needs to win
C F C F Dm F
And thumbing your nose at the boss I suppose just feels like a beautiful thing
F G
And it's something that nobody tells you
Am G F C
You figure it out if you can
C F C F
Well there's one thing on earth that no one can touch
Am G F C
It's the sleep of a satisfied man
Am G F C
Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man
C F C F
And I don't know why I love the leaving
C F Dm G
But it's not from lack of loving you
C F C F Dm F
You can't remember when you stopped breathing and I can't remember it too
C F C F
But I'm coming home tomorrow
C F Dm G
And I wanted you to know
C F C F Dm F
That the part of me that can make you smile is the same part that needed to go
F G
And it's something that nobody tells you
Am G F C
You figure it out if you can
C F C F
Well they can't interfere or get inside here
Am G F C
It's the sleep of a satisfied man
Am G F C
Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man
F G
Of all the things I've had to learn
Am
One won't quit
G F C
No matter how I try
Am
One won't quit
G F C
It's all that I can stand
Am
One won't quit
G F C
I'll never learn to say goodbye
F G
But I hope for your sake that you can
C F C F
And on April 2nd the birth of my heart
C F Dm G
The day that the zombie awoke with a start
C F C F
When I fell for Button and she fell for me
Dm F
Back in the spring of 1993
C F C F C F Dm G
January 7th 2005 the birth of my blood came fully to life
C F C F
When I see St. Peter and ask for my wings
Dm F
Just leave me that memory and the joy that it brings
F G
It's something that nobody tells you
Am G F C
You figure it out if you can
C F C F
It's the things that you never get over
Am G
Build the character of a man
F G
And if heaven and family and children
Am G F C
Are what's left of me when I die
C F C F Am G F C
Then I hope for your sake that you're better than me at this learning to say goodbye
F G
Yeah if heaven and family and children
Am G F C
Are what's left of the race that I ran
C F C F
Then I'll quietly slip to the slumbering peace of the
Am G F C
sleep of a satisfied man
Am G F C
Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man
Am G F C
Yeah the sleep of a satisfied man
I'm satisfied
