[Verse 1]
A G D
Gonna lay my burden down
A G D
Lay my body in the ground
Bsus2 Bm C
Cold clay against my skin
G D
But I don't care at all
A G D
Can't seem to find my piece of mind
A G D
So with the earth I'll lay entwined
Bsus2 Bm C
Six feet underground
G D
My feet are warm and dry
[Chorus 1]
Asus4 A
When I get to the other side
Asus2 A
I'll put your picture way up high
Asus4 A
But I'm not coming back to you
Asus2 Am A D
It's just too far
[Verse 2]
A G D
If I was cast off on the sea
A G D
Would you come and look for me
Bsus2 Bm C
Or would you just let me sink
G D
Beneath the waves so blue
A G D
What if I had learned to fly
A G D
Fly all night till day drew nigh
Bsus2 Bm C
Touch down upon a branch and
G D
Scan the crowd for you
[Chorus 2]
Asus4 A
When I touch my feet on the land
Asus2 A
I'll kiss your lips and take your hand
Asus4 A
But you know I'm not here to stay
Asus2 Am
It's just too far
[Bridge]
A G
Darling can't you hear me cry
F Am
My bones are broke, my tongue is tied
C G
The moon is swaying back and forth
A# A Em
Against the navy sky is all I can see
F Am
My body is trembling on my knees
C G
Just have a little mercy on me
A# A D
Run away and hide
[Verse 3]
A G D
When I sleep the angels sing
A G D
But I cannot hear a thing
Bsus2 Bm C
Eyes close dreaming of the
G D
Better days gone by
A G D
When I wake the trumpets play
A G D
And I'm standing at the gates
Bsus2 Bm C
Fall down and joy
G D
I know my race has just been won
[End]
Asus4 A
When I was young my momma would say
Asus2 A
Well life is hard, but that's OK
Asus4 A
If you can make it through the day
Asus4 Am
It's not that far
D
No, it's not that far
