[D][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
It's one of [Em]those things, it's not [D]easy to talk about,
but [Am]it's a part of life.[C][D]
[Em]I know it's a little awkward
to talk of it
Maybe a little morbid, but
Lord if it's my
time
[Am]Take me while I'm [C]performing
[Bm]Pouring my heart out [D]while the crowd
is [Bm]ap plauding
[C]On tour, spitting [Am]punchlines, [C]take me while
I'm [Am]re cording
All up in the studio,
dropping all of [C]my thoughts
again
[D]Authoring another book in my studio
[Em]Of fering something above board
If life is to be cut short,
then please take
me while I'm doing [C]something that I love
Lord
[Bm]Let me have my l[Em]ast day with
[C]my son and daughter
And let [Am]me tell my gor
[C]geous wife [Am]that I adore her
A mid -performance right [D]af
ter hitting the chorus
And then the off -switch on [Em]the chord list
What more would I want though
Than to see my family on [Bm]the front row
And then take a bow once [C]more
And hear [Am]the crowd chanting
for an encore
Knowing in my heart that I [C]am done for
[D]At that point you can [Em]take me
Lord, I am yours
And I don't want to see my son mourn
I want him to come forward and take
[G]his place at [Bm]the front door
I know [D]that he's a little [G]young for [C]it, but I know
[Am]he'll grow [C]into the role a[Am]t some point
Son, you are heir to [C]the throne,
[D]and it's all up to you to take care of t[Em]he home
And my daughter, princess, learn from the queen,
learn from your mom, she gotta work
for [Bm]your dreams
And never let him hurt your esteem,
[C]and never
let [Am]a man define your worth as a being
Life is hard, but worse as [C]it seems, [D]she's
Trust in
God and [Em]his word as a theme
To the mother of my children
My life partner, my one in a million
Life [C]is hard, just [Bm]apply all the skills in
Everything you're [C]doing, boo,
[Am]you will win
And the house that we lived in was
just a [D]building
But you made it a home for us
[Em]to raise our kids in
So thank you, now as I take a bow
Please tell my mom to try
[Am]to make her [C]proud
[Bm]And tell my [D]dad I
didn't make a [Bm]sound
Instead I [C]went like [Am]a soldier,
[C]brave and [Am]proud
And to my family staying [D]around
Since day one,
I love y 'all and I say it [C]loud
[Em]We will meet again,
when heaven is our playground
Thank you for the love,
I hope it never fades [C]out[Bm][Em]
[Am]Thank you for the love[Bm], I hope it never fades out[Am]
[Em][C][D][Em]
