Tom : G
G
When I die
G
When I die
C/G
When my body & my mind
G
Are no longer mine
[Dialogue 1]
G
Here's what I want at my funeral, when I die
C/G
Play "Last Donut of the Night" by J Dilla
G
I want all my friends there
G
Everyone who ever loved me
G
& I don't want anyone in black
C/G
Unless you had already planned on that
G
& I want my family there
G
I don't mean like my mom, my dad, & my sisters
C/G
I mean like everyone that supported me, helped me
C/G
I want everyone to be happy
C/G
You should be happy
G
You're alive
Unlike poor Alan Mora
C/G
Life is scary but, death is scarier
G
We'll be alright
[Chorus]
G
When I die
C/G
When my body & my mind
G
Are no longer mine
[Dialogue 2]
G
& I don't want to be buried
C/G
I'm really claustrophobic
& the ashes thing is weird too but
G
I'd rather be ashes
G
& when you get those ashes
G
Spread them all over the ocean
C/G
I really loved the ocean
G
Probably the only thing I'll ever miss
Well besides music, my friends, & my lover
C/G
& this isn't a sad song
It's not a song at all
G
It's, it's more like instructions
C/G
For when I die
[Outro]
G
When I die
G
When I die
C/G
When my body & my mind
G
Are no longer mine
