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                            D
When they know they're your heart 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                          D
"Daddy look what I made," dad's 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                           D
Daddy's writing this song, this 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                                  D
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's 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                            D
Just know that I'm looking down on 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                                  D
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby 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                                  D
Baby, daddy ain't leaving no more, "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                            D
She's piling boxes in front of the 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                                  D
These f*****g' walls must be 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                            D
And just as I go to walk out of my 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                                  D
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby 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                                  D
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby 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                              D
They're screaming so loud, I take 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                                  D
You lied to me dad, and now you 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                               D
Now go out there and show 'em that 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                                  D
Yeah, I bet you you will, you rap 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                                  D
Put it to my brain, scream, "Die 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                                  D
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby 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                                  D
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain

Just smile back
