No more lying friends, wanting tragic ends,
F#m/C#             Bm6   A                  C#7 F#m
Though they do pre-tend; they won't go when I go.

F#m                C#7/G#       F#m/A         Bm6
All those bleeding hearts, with sorrows to im-part;
     F#m/C#              Bm6        A                  C#7 F#m
Were right here from the start, and they won't go when I go.

Gone from painful cries, a-way from saddened eyes,
  F#m/C#             Bm6           A                  C#7 (F#m)

Big men feeling small, weak ones standing tall;
F#m/C#             Bm6   A                  C#7 F#m
I will watch them fall; ‘cause they won't go when I go.

    B7   E7        A7   D7      G7 B#7 E#7 A#7   B#7 G#7  C#7  F#m

Bridge 1:
F#m                            D
Unclean minds mislead the pure, the innocent will leave for sure;
F#m                 B9
For them there is a resting place.
F#m                         D
People sinning just for fun, they will never see the sun,
F#m                           B9
For they can never show their faces.
               E                     E7
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner,
         A7                     D
Who will take more than he will give,
      A7          B#7                   A7             F#m
He'll give, he'll give, he ain't hardly gonna give, oh yeah.

Verse 5:
    F#m               C#7/G# F#m/A        Bm6
The greed of man will be,   far away from me,
    F#m/C#          Bm6   A                  C#7  (F#m)
And my soul will be free; they won't go when I go.

Since my soul con-ceived, all that I be-lieve,
    F#m/C#         Bm6       A                  C#7 (F#m)
The kingdom I will see; 'cos they won't go when I... go.

Chorus 3:
     B7 E7        A7   D7  G7 B#7  E#7 A#7
And I’ll I  go, where I'll go, no one, can keep,

Me from; my... desti...ny.
