C Am
At last I understand the consequences of my love
Dm G
But how could there be a heaven where they kicked you out
C
'cause you kicked out your chair from above
Am
Everybode loves to stick with the winner
Dm G
But you showed me the line between victory and dying
C
couldn't get much thinner 'cause you
F
You found out how to get down
G7 Gsus2 F
Down like me
C Am
When my self-pity became less than a full-time work
Dm G
I meditated on the methods and the means
C
and whether or not it would hurt
Am
Then I got a call they found you swinging out over the earth
Dm G
And so over me you win again in finishes, forms,
C
in finals and in firsts
F
You finally had to get down
G7 Gsus2 F
Down like me
C Am
"By the time you read this I will no longer be here"
Dm G
I had to read these words to all your family, friends
C
everybody you never held dear
Am
We'll keep an empty place at dinner forever
Dm G
And I'll maintain an empty chair so you can set in
C
And we'll never grow old together
F
You showed 'em how to get down
G7 Gsus2 F
Down like me
