[Intro]
Bm Em C D G
[Verse]
G
Many more miles were behind him than he had left to go
C
Closing in upon that last one that we all must walk alone
G D
It's the one across the end of the line
G
So we held on and we told stories of the good and bad in all
C
Of the power and the glory and the lonely days that crawled
G D G Am Bm
And we prayed heaven holds true love and a satisfied mind
[Chorus]
C D
He said, I ain't afraid of dying 'cause I know there's something worse
G Am Bm C D
When you have to see your reason for living go first and you get left behind
G C
Some can't think of nothing better than to live this life forever
G Bm C
I never wanted no more than was mine
Bm Em C D G D
And to lay down someday and go home with a satisfied mind
[Verse]
G
He said, don't look into the darkness if you want to see true black
C
Look in- to a morning's brightness when love ain't coming back
G D
And you will find there is a darkness that blinds
G
And don't think wealth is ever having all you want all to yourself
C
It is found when you are giving what you have to someone else
G D G Am Bm
The only difference in the rich and the poor is a satisfied mind
[Chorus]
C D
He said, I ain't afraid of dying 'cause I know there's something worse
G Am Bm C D
When you have to see your reason for living go first and you get left behind
G C
Some can't think of nothing better than to live this life forever
G Bm C
I never wanted no more than was mine
Bm Em C D G C
And to lay down someday and go home with a satisfied mind
