When Im Gone Lyrics

    pre>
    Capo 1st fret

    Intro:d/bm/g/em/a/d/a/bm/em/a/d

    D bm
    There's no place in this world where i'll belong when i'm gone
    G em a
    And i won't know the right from the wrong when i'm gone
    D a bm
    And you won't find me singin' on this song when i'm gone
    Em a d
    So i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here

    And i won't feel the flowing of the time when i'm gone
    All the pleasures of love will not be mine when i'm gone
    My pen won't pour out a lyric line when i'm gone
    So i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here

    And i won't breathe the bracing air when i'm gone
    And i can't even worry 'bout my cares when i'm gone
    Won't be asked to do my share when i'm gone
    So i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here

    And i won't be running from the rain when i'm gone
    And i can't even suffer from the pain when i'm gone
    Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when i'm gone
    So i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here

    Won't see the golden of the sun when i'm gone
    And the evenings and the mornings will be one when i'm gone
    Can't be singing louder than the guns when i'm gone
    So i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here

    All my days won't be dances of delight when i'm gone
    And the sands will be shifting from my sight when i'm gone
    Can't add my name into the fight while i'm gone
    So i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here

    And i won't be laughing at the lies when i'm gone
    And i can't question how or when or why when i'm gone
    Can't live proud enough to die when i'm gone
    So i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here
