When I'm Gone

C                       D
Have you ever loved someone so much,
 you'd give an arm for?
 Em
Not the expression, no, literally 
give an arm for?
              C                  
When they know they're your heart 
          D
And you know you were their armour
             Em
And you will destroy anyone who 
would try to harm 'her
C                       D
But what happens when karma, turns 
right around and bites you
  Em
And everything you stand for, turns 
on you, to spite you?
              C
What happens when you become the 
main source of a pain?
             Em                
"Daddy look what I made," dad's 
          D
gotta go catch a plane
C                       D
"Daddy where's mommy? I can't find 
mommy, where is she?"
  Em
I don't know, go play Hailie, baby, 
your daddy's busy
              C                    
Daddy's writing this song, this 
       D
song ain't gon' write itself
             Em
I'll give you one underdog, and you 
gotta swing by yourself

C                       D
Then turn right around in that song 
and tell her you love her
  Em
And put hands on her mother, who's a
 spitting image of her
              C
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim 
Shady's crazy
   Em                              
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's 
    D
rocka-by-baby

C                       D
And when I'm gone, just carry on, 
don't mourn
  Em
Rejoice every time you hear the 
sound of my voice
              C                    
Just know that I'm looking down on 
        D
you smiling
             Em
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby 
don't feel my pain

Just smile back
C                       D
And when I'm gone, just carry on, 
don't mourn
  Em
Rejoice every time you hear the 
sound of my voice
              C
Just know that I'm looking down on 
you smiling
             Em                    
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby 
              D
don't feel no pain

Just smile back

C                       D
I keep having this dream, I'm 
pushin' Hailie on a swing
  Em
She keeps screaming, she don't want 
me to sing
              C
"You're making mommy cry Why? Why is
 mommy crying?

    Em                             
Baby, daddy ain't leaving no more, 
     D
"Daddy you're lying
C                       D
"You always say that, you always say
 this is the last time

  Em
But you ain't leaving no more, 
daddy, you're mine"
        C                          
She's piling boxes in front of the 
  D
door, trying to block it
             Em
"Daddy please, daddy don't leave, 
daddy, no stop it!"

C                       D
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny
 necklace locket
  Em
It's got a picture, "This'll keep 
you safe daddy, take it witcha'"
     C
I look up, it's just me standing in 
the mirror
        Em                  
These f*****g' walls must be 
                D
talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
C                       D
They're saying, "You got one more 
chance to do right
  Em
And it's tonight, now go out there 
And show em that you love 'em fore 
it's too late
                C                  
And just as I go to walk out of my 
          D
bedroom door It's turns to a stage
             Em
They're gone, and this spotlight is 
on

And I'm singing

 C                       D
And when I'm gone, just carry on, 
don't mourn
  Em
Rejoice every time you hear the 
sound of my voice
              C
Just know that I'm looking down on 
you smiling
             Em                    
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby 
              D
don't feel no pain

Just smile back…
 C                       D
And when I'm gone, just carry on, 
don't mourn
  Em
Rejoice every time you hear the 
sound of my voice
              C
Just know that I'm looking down on 
you smiling
             Em                    
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby 
              D
don't feel no pain

Just smile back…

 C                       D
Sixty thousand people, all jumping 
out their seat
   Em
The curtain closes, they're throwing
 roses at my feet
               C
I take a bow and thank you all for 
coming out
          Em                     
They're screaming so loud, I take 
         D
one last look at the crowd
 C                       D
I glance down, I don't believe what 
I'm seeing
   Em
"Daddy it's me, help mommy, her 
wrists are bleeding"
               C
But baby we're in Sweden, how did 
you get to Sweden? "I followed you 
daddy, you

told me that you weren't leavin'
              Em                   
You lied to me dad, and now you 
               D
made mommy sad And I bought you this
 coin, it says 'Number One Dad'

 C                       D
"That's all I wanted, I just want to
 give you this coin
   Em
I get the point, fine, me and mommy 
are goin'"
                C
But baby wait, "It's too late dad, 
you made your choice
              Em                   
Now go out there and show 'em that 
            D
you love 'em more than us"
 C                       D
That's what they want, they want you
 Marshall
    Em
They keep screamin' your name       
        C
It's no wonder you can't go to 
sleep, just take another pill
             Em                  
Yeah, I bet you you will, you rap 
                D
about it Yeah, word, k-keep it real
 C                       D
I hear applause, all this time I 
couldn't see
   Em
How could it be, that the curtain is
 closing on me?
            C
I turn around, find a gun on the 
ground and cock it
Em                             
Put it to my brain, scream, "Die 
     D
Shady" and pop it

 C                     D
The sky darkens, my life flashes
   Em
The plane that I was supposed to be 
on crashes and burns to ashes
             C
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's
 ringin', there's birds singin'
  Em                     D
It's spring and Hailei's outside 
swinging
 C                       D
I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
   Em
Tell her I miss her, Hailie just 
smiles
              C
And winks at her little sister
           Em
Almost as if to say

 C                       D
And when I'm gone, just carry on, 
don't mourn
  Em
Rejoice every time you hear the 
sound of my voice
              C
Just know that I'm looking down on 
you smiling
             Em                    
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby 
              D
don't feel no pain

Just smile back…
 C                       D
And when I'm gone, just carry on, 
don't mourn
  Em
Rejoice every time you hear the 
sound of my voice
              C
Just know that I'm looking down on 
you smiling
             Em
