Intro: D A Bm G 


verse 1 

D 
My last breath 
                  Bm         G 
I wanna take with a smile 
D 
 And no regrets 
             A                    Bm 
No hope of turnin' back that dial 
G        D 
Let the story I've written 
A                 Bm            G 
Be somethin' worth leavin' behind 


G 
When I'm gone 
 D                  A                        Bm 
Tell them I laughed more than I shed tears 
  G 
When I'm gone 
 D               A                    Bm 
Tell them I stared down all my fears 
                              G                       D 
That I danced on a wire and I walked through the fire 
                                    A                Bm 
That I lived every moment till that moment retired 
                 G   D   A 
So my life goes on, goes on when I'm gone 
             D             A  Bm G  
(Oh, oh, oh) when I'm gone 



verse 2 

              D 
Tell them I left that town 
A           Bm           G 
But it never left my soul 
            D                Bm            G 
That I settled down but I never got old 
D                                                        Bm          G 
If the house was packed and all raised a glass as the credits rolled 


G 
When I'm gone 
 D                  A                        Bm 
Tell them I laughed more than I shed tears 
  G 
When I'm gone 
 D               A                    Bm 
Tell them I stared down all my fears 
                              G                       D 
That I danced on a wire and I walked through the fire 
                                    A                Bm 
That I lived every moment till that moment retired 
                 G   D   A 
So my life goes on, goes on when I'm gone 
             D             A   
(Oh, oh, oh) when I'm gone
