they'd hooked you up to a fentanyl drip
Dmaj7 Dsus4 D6sus2 D5
to mitigate the pain a little bit
Dmaj7 Dsus4 D6sus2 D5
i flew in from pennsylvania
Dmaj7 Dsus4 D6sus2 D5
when i heard the hour was coming fast
Bm G D5
And i docked in santa barbara
Bm G D5
tried to brace myself
Bm G D5
but you can't brace yourself
Bm G Asus4
when the time comes you just have to roll with the blast
Em G
and i'm an 18-wheeler headed down the interstate
D5 A G
and my brakes are gonna give and i won't know til it's too late
C D
tires screaming when i lose control
Asus4 G
try not to hurt too many people when i roll

Dmaj7 D6sus2 Dsus4 D5
Dmaj7 Dsus4 D6sus2 D5
find the harbor freeway and head south
Dmaj7 D6sus2 Dsus4 D5
real tired, head kind of light
Dmaj7 D6sus2 Dsus4 D5
i found telegraph road, i'd only seen the name on envelopes
Dmaj7 Dsus4 D6sus2 D5
found the parking lot and turned right
Bm G D5
i felt all the details carving out space in my head
Bm G D5
tropicanas on the walkway neon red
Bm G D5
between the pain and the pills trying to hold it at bay
Bm G Asus4
stands a traveler going somewhere far away

Em G
and i am an airplane tumbling wing over wing
D5 A G
try to listen to my instruments they don't say anything
C D
people screaming when the engines quit
Asus4 G
i hope we're all in crash position when we hit
[instrumental]
Dmaj7 D6sus2 Dsus4 D5
Dmaj7 D6sus2 Dsus4 D5
Dmaj7 D6sus2 Dsus4 D5
Dmaj7 D6sus2 Dsus4 D5
Dmaj7 D6sus2
and then came to your bedside
Dsus4
and as it turns out
D5
i'm not ready
Dmaj7 D6sus2
and as though
Dsus4 D5
you were speaking through a thick haze
Dmaj7 D6sus2 Dsus4 D5
you said hello to me
Bm G D5
we all stood there around you
Bm G D5
happy to hear you speak
Bm G D5
the last of something bright burning
Bm G
still burning
Asus4
beyond the cancer and the chemotherapy
Em G
and you were a presence full of light upon this earth
D5 A G
and i am a witness to your life and to its worth
C D
it's three days later when i get the call
Asus4 G
and there's nobody around to break my fall
