When I Die Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
When it's [Am]late at night
and dark as hell
Where I'm going to well
you know damn well
I ain't got nobody else to blame
'Cause you know it's my

[Verse 2]
fault and ain't it a shame
[Am]
The pearly locks on the pearly gates
ain't just for show make no mistake
Can nothing I do in this life of sin make
it up enough to ever get me in

[Verse 3]
So [F]when I die [Am]I kn[C]ow in my life
I ain't [G]done things well
tried [Am]to do things right
It's been [F]a long dark road [G]and [C]try as I might
I can't [G]make it any closer [Em]to th[E]e [Am]golden light,
the golden light

[Verse 4]
[Am]I'm a long lost soul meant
to toil all day
Inmate of my mind, with nothing to say
You can't break those
chains so let them be
I'm not the one who ever
held this [G]key[Am]
There's one thing that I
know for sure
No matter what I do, there is no cure
For the things I've said,
the things I've done
There's only one chance it's his only son

[Verse 5]
So [F]when I die I [C]know in my life
I ain't [G]done things well
tried [Am]to do things right
It's [Dm]been [F]a long dark road and [C]try as I might
I can't [G]make it any closer to
[Am]the golden [C]lig[Dm]ht[Am]
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Am]
I'm [Dm]close to [Am]the edge I lit my s[G]oul on f[Am]ire[Dm]
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]So w[B]hen [Am]I di[F]e I know in[C] my life
I ain't [G]done things well tried
[Am]to do things right
It's been a [F]long dark road
and [C]try as I might
I can't [G]make it any closer
to the [Am]golden [F]light
I'm [C]close [G]to the edge
and holding [Am]on[C]
[F]All I [G]can [C]do is set [G]my soul [Am]on fire with the golden
[G]lig[Am]ht
