[Intro: ](Bm) (A) (G) (D) 
 
Many (D) more miles were behind him 
Than he had left to go (D7) 
Closing (G) in upon that last one 
We all must walk alone 
It's the (D) one across the end of the (A7) line 
So we held (D) on and we told stories 
Of the good and bad in all (D7) 
Of the (G) power and the glory 
And the lonely days that crawled 
He said (D) heaven holds true (A7) love 
And a satisfied (D) mind. 
 
He (D/F#) said I (G) ain't afraid of dying 
'Cause I (Asus) know there's something (A) worse 
When you (D) have to see your (D7) reason (D7/F#) for (G) livin' go first 
And you get (Asus) left behind (A) 
Some can't (D) think of nothing better (D/F#) 
Than to (G) live this life forever 
I never (D) wanted no more than was (D/F#) mine (G) 
And to (F#m) lay down some(Bm)day and go (G) home 
With a (A) satisfied mind. 
 
He said don't (D) look into the darkness 
If you want to see true black (D7) 
Look in(G)to a morning's brightness 
When love ain't coming back 
You will (D) find right there a darkness that (A7) blinds 
And don't think (D) wealth is ever having 
All you want all to yourself (D7) 
It is (G) found when you are giving 
What you have to someone else 
The only (D) difference in the rich and the (A7) poor 
Is a satisfied (D) mind. 
 
And one (A) light began to (G) fade 
As one grew br(A)ighter 
 
And he said (D/F#) I (G) ain't afraid of dying 
'Cause I (Asus) know there's something (A) worse 
When you (D) have to see your (D7) reason (D7/F#) for (G) livin' go first 
And you get (Asus) left behind (A) 
Some can't (D) think of nothing better (D/F#) 
Than to (G) live this life forever 
I never (D) wanted no more than was (D/F#) mine (G) 
And to (F#m) lay down some(Bm)day and (A) go (G) home (A) 
Let me (F#m) lay down some(Bm)day and (A) go (G) home 
With a (A) satisfied mind.
