  			Intro: Am   Dm    Am 


Am              Dm 
If I should go before you 
G                     Dm 
When that long night comes 
Am                      Dm 
We'll meet in the ever after 
              G                  Am 
Please don't follow me into the sun 

Am                        Dm 
If you should cross the white light 
G                          Dm 
and find yourself in the black 
Am                     Dm 
I'll be right there behind you 
          G                    Am 
You will have no need to look back 

              Dm                  G 
And when the night cries itself awake 
Dm                     G 
Dying in the light of day 
Dm                      G 
Our endless love will remain 
 Dm   G   Am   Dm Am 
Until we meet a-gain 

Am               Dm 
If I should go before you 
G                Dm 
Into the great unknown 
Am                          Dm 
I'll leave my ghost right beside you 
           G             Am 
You won't have to wait alone
