[Verse]
F                       A
If I’m to die before I reach you
Dm                      C               Bb
Please know I’m meant to love you till I did
F                       A
If I’m to slip beneath a train meant to take me
Dm                      C               Bb
Know that I believe that it was worth it
F
Tell my friends goodbye
        A
Tell my almost ex-wife
Dm                    C         Bb
That I loved her and left her too soon
C

[Chorus]
Dm              C               Bb
Oh I hope to be holding you soon
F                         C
Who knows what happens if I leave my room
Dm                        C             Bb
Oh I’m scared that you’ll know what to do...
A                       Dm     C     Bb
If I’m to die before you
C

[Verse]
F                       A
If i’m to die before I hold you
Dm                      C               Bb
Know my arms were the worst off for it
F               
If i’m set upon dragged
A                       
From my room as I write
Dm
You won't be my last
C               Bb
Thought before I quit
C
F
Give my family love
A       
I would watch from above
Dm                      C         Bb
But I fear there is nothing but sleep
C

[Chorus]
Dm              C           Bb
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
F
Don’t know what's out there
C
More fear I assume
Dm                         C            Bb
Oh i’m scared that you’ll know what to do...
A                       Dm C Bb
If i’m to die before you
C

[Verse]
F                               A
And if i’m to die before we spend a soft day
Dm                      C            Bb
Know my final thoughts will be of regret
F                               A
If i'm to drown in the deep sea that parts us
Dm                      C               Bb
I once lived and loved, don’t forget
C
F
Give my paintings to Alice
A
Tell all my good friends
Dm                      C               Bb
That I didn’t dare earn their respect
C

[Chorus]
Dm              C               Bb
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
F                               C
I don’t know what happens if I leave my room
Dm                      C               Bb
Oh I’m scared that you’ll know what to do
A                                       Dm      C       Bb
If I'm to die before you, if I'm to die before you
