verse 1
G
when i hit the ground in all my glory
C
i will know
G
where i have come from
in the shadow of the doubt that meets the morning

i have come,
G

in the time it took to really understand him
C

G
to who he grew to be
Em
i will never know
G
why a good man will go
Em G
or a bird will fall from the sky that she was made for
Em
a heart will beat
G
out of fear of its defeat
Em
and the love you left behind
C
will no longer stand to be

a good man will die
