Eb      F                  Ab              Eb            Bb
I'm not trying to say that I don't want to live 'cause I do,
Eb       F                      Ab               Eb              Bb
I've got more to take, and I've got some more to give, you know I do,
Cm      Ab         Eb               Bb        Db
But if tomorrow my number should be called, I won't be sad,

I won't feel bad at all.
