Intro:
(x2)
Verse 1:
Live or die before I get it done will you decide?
Take my words and turn them into signs they will survive
because a long time ago I knew not to deprive,
Verse 2:
It's safe out there and now you’re everywhere just like the sky
and you I love you, you are the love supreme you are the ride
and when you hear this you know it's your jam it's your goodbye
chorus:
Like I said
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
and when the drummer drums
he's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
and when the boatman comes
To ferry me away
To where we all belong
Verse 3:
We all cross when we were feeling lost it's just the time
could Terry cry the day her lover died she recognized
because you gave her a life of real love it's no surprise
The nights are long but the years are short when you’re alive
Way back when will never be again it was a time
It's gonna catch you so glad I met you to walk the line
chorus:
Like I said
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
and when the drummer drums
he's gonna play my song
To carry me along
bridge:
Em (x6)
chorus:
Like I said
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
and when the drummer drums
he's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Outro:
Let me live so when it’s time to die even the reaper cries
Let me die so when it's time to leave another sun will rise

Like I said
You know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
