[Verse]
D G Em A
I was late for work, had to pull to the side while a funeral train of cars drove by
D G Em A
With their lights on, it was just my luck, it went on and on for miles
D G Em A
I kept checkin' my watch, grittin' my teeth, then suddenly it dawned on me
D G Em A
That who- ever this is, is gonna be missed for a long, long time,
[Chorus]
G A
It got me thinking
D G Em A
When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this
D G Em A
200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived
Bm F#m G F#m Em A D
And I hope I leave half as much love be- hind when it's my time
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D G Em A
So I followed that last car down to the church, took off my ball cap, tucked in my shirt
D G Em A
I just had to see what kind of life could cause such as traffic jam
D G Em A
Heard story after story, people laugh, people cry, it didn't take long to understand
D G Em A
Why every pew was full, there's a lot of good souls made better for knowing him
[Chorus]
G A
And now I'm one of them
D G Em A
When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this
D G Em A
200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived
Bm F#m G F#m Em A D
And I hope I leave half as much love be- hind when it's my time
[Instrumental]

Em F#m Bm A
Felt a hand on my back, turned a- round, someone asked, "Did you know him well?"
G
And I said, "Yeah, well enough to know"
D G Em A
When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this
D G Em A
200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived
Bm F#m G F#m Em A D
And I hope I leave half as much love be- hind when it's my time
D
Ooh, when it's my time
