[Verse 1]
A G D Gonna lay my burden down A G D Lay my body in the ground Bsus2 Bm C Cold clay against my skin G D But I don't care at all A G D Can't seem to find my piece of mind A G D So with the earth I'll lay entwined Bsus2 Bm C Six feet underground G D My feet are warm and dry
[Chorus 1]
Asus4 A When I get to the other side Asus2 A I'll put your picture way up high Asus4 A But I'm not coming back to you Asus2 Am A D It's just too far
[Verse 2]
A G D If I was cast off on the sea A G D Would you come and look for me Bsus2 Bm C Or would you just let me sink G D Beneath the waves so blue A G D What if I had learned to fly A G D Fly all night till day drew nigh Bsus2 Bm C Touch down upon a branch and G D Scan the crowd for you
[Chorus 2]
Asus4 A When I touch my feet on the land Asus2 A I'll kiss your lips and take your hand Asus4 A But you know I'm not here to stay Asus2 Am It's just too far
[Bridge]
A G Darling can't you hear me cry F Am My bones are broke, my tongue is tied C G The moon is swaying back and forth Bb A Em Against the navy sky is all I can see F Am My body is trembling on my knees C G Just have a little mercy on me Bb A D Run away and hide
[Verse 3]
A G D When I sleep the angels sing A G D But I cannot hear a thing Bsus2 Bm C Eyes close dreaming of the G D Better days gone by A G D When I wake the trumpets play A G D And I'm standing at the gates Bsus2 Bm C Fall down and joy G D I know my race has just been won
[Chorus 3]
Asus4 A When I was young my momma would say Asus2 A Well life is hard, but that's OK Asus4 A If you can make it through the day Asus2 Am It's not that far D No, it's not that far
