When Its My Time

      D                     G     
I was late for work, had to pull 
                   Em              
to the side while a funeral train 
 A
of cars drove by
           D                 G    
With their lights on, it was just 
                 Em            A
my luck, it went on and on for miles

       D                  G       
I kept checkin' my watch, grittin'
                Em          A
 my teeth, then suddenly it dawned 
on me
          D                G      
That who- ever this is, is gonna 
               Em               A
be missed for a long, long time,

[Chorus]
G         A
It got me thinking
          D                  G    
When it's my time to go, the end 
            Em                 A
of my road I hope it looks like this
D        G                       
200 cars stretched out as far as 
    Em                       A
the hearts I touched while I lived
      Bm           F#m          G
And I hope I leave half as much 
    F#m Em   A         D
love be- hind when it's my time

[Verse]
     D                      G     
So I followed that last car down 
                   Em              
to the church, took off my ball 
 A
cap, tucked in my shirt
       D               G          
I just had to see what kind of 
        Em                        A
life could cause such as traffic jam

      D                        
Heard story after story, people 
 G                     Em         
laugh, people cry, it didn't take 
         A
long to understand
          D                       
Why every pew was full, there's a 
G                      Em        
lot of good souls made better for
             A
 knowing him

[Chorus]
G                  A
And now I'm one of them
          D                  G    
When it's my time to go, the end 
            Em                 A
of my road I hope it looks like this
D        G                       
200 cars stretched out as far as 
    Em                       A
the hearts I touched while I lived
      Bm           F#m          G
And I hope I leave half as much 
    F#m Em   A         D
love be- hind when it's my time

       Em                         
Felt a hand on my back, turned a- 
F#m                   Bm         
round, someone asked, "Did you 
       A
know him well?"
                   G
And I said, "Yeah, well enough to 
know"

          D                  G    
When it's my time to go, the end 
            Em                 A
of my road I hope it looks like this
D        G                       
200 cars stretched out as far as 
    Em                       A
the hearts I touched while I lived
      Bm           F#m          G
And I hope I leave half as much 
    F#m Em   A         D
love be- hind when it's my time
D
Ooh, when it's my time
