C   B   Am  F  C   G


[Verse 1]
          C            B
If I’m to die before I reach you
                         Am              F
Please know I’m meant to love you till I did
          C              B
If I’m to slip beneath a train meant to take me
          Am                         F
Know that I believe that it was worth it
        C
Tell my friends goodbye
        B
Tell my almost ex-wife
       Am            G            F      G
That I loved her and left her too soon



[Chorus]
     Am         G           F
Oh I hope to be holding you soon
C              B
Who knows what happens if I leave my room
       Am                 G            F
Oh I’m scared that you’ll know what to do...
B                        C   G   F   G
If I’m to die before you



[Verse 2]
          C            B
If i’m to die before I hold you
        Am                            F
Know my arms were the worst off for it
       C                      B
If i’m set upon dried from my room as I write
          Am
You won't be my last
                 F         G
Thought before I quit
        C
Give my family love
        B
I would watch from above
      Am            G           F       G
But I fear there is nothing but sleep



[Chorus]
     Am         G          F
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
C
Don’t know what's out there
     B
More fear I assume
       Am                 G              F
Oh i’m scared that you’ll know what to do...
B                        Am   G   F   G
If i’m to die before you



[Verse 3]
              C             B
And if i’m to die before we spend a soft day
        Am                         F
Know my final thoughts will be of regret
          C            B
If i'm to drown in the deep sea that parts us
  Am             G            F        G
I once lived and loved, don’t forget
        C
Give my paintings to Alice
     B
Tell all my good friends
       Am          G             F     G
That I didn’t dare earn their respect



[Outro]
     Am         G          F
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
  C                          B
I don’t know what happens if I leave my room
       Am                 G             F
Oh I’m scared that you’ll know what to do
B                      Am   G    F
If I'm to die before you
G                      C
If I'm to die before you
