D                A
why should she suffer
           D

bedroom and asked what's wrong

with grandmas face

die with grace

want this to happen to you right

now?”
          Fm                   E  
She said “Yes, please end it

sweety, I can’t live in this much 
pain
   D             Dm           
I want to die surrounded by the

people I most love
           A             C#m7

                 D   A
 gotta take me out”

not shut down
