Oh, I hope I get to say good-bye to all my friends
        F     F             C     G
when my story ends, when my story ends.
    C            G                 C     C
And if I don’t I pray that we have made amends
        F     G           C       C
when my story comes to an end.

All the ones who’ve gone before me, they’re around me now,
         F        F            C          G
they’re around me now though I don’t know how.
C                G                   Am                 Am
Telling me their stories and they’re telling me they’re proud,
      F         G       C       C
I can hear them talking now.

When my   breath is still and the light leaves my eyes,
          D           D              G           G/F
I’ll take   one look around and I’ll take to the sky.
        C            G             Am           Am
I don’t know exactly when, I don’t know exactly why,
            F         G        C         C
but I might   hang my head and cry.

What do you see in the trees or the soaring of a dove,
        F            F      C       G
is it a fathers plan   or a mothers love?
          C           G                Am        Am
Well, the universe is swirling and the stars up above,
        F           G              C       C
I don’t know but it fits me like a glove.

[Ending]

And I hope I get to say good-bye to all my friends,

when my story ends,   when my story ends.
    C            G                 Am        Am

when my story comes to an end,
            F     G           C       C
oh, when my story comes to an end.
