Intro 1

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

Thank you for the love, I hope it never fades out
