[E]Turn away [B]
If you could get me a [C#m]drink
Of water 'cause my [Am]lips are chapped and faded
Call my [E]Aunt Marie [B]
Help her gather all my [C#m]things
And bury me in [Am]all my favorite colors
My [F#m]sisters and my [A]brothers [B]still,
I [G#/C]will not [C#m]kiss you
[Am]'Cause the [F#m]hardest part of [B]this is leavin' you [E]
Verse 2:
Now [E]turn away [B]
'Cause I'm awful just to [C#m]see
'Cause all my hair's [Am]abandoned all my body
Oh my [E]agony [B]
Know that I will never [C#m]marry
Baby, I'm just [Am]soggy from the chemo
But [F#m]countin' down the [A]days to [B]go
It [G#/C]just ain't [C#m]livin'
And I just [Am] hope you know
Chorus:
That [E]if you say
[Eaug]Goodbye today
I'd [C#m]ask you to be true
'Cause the [F#m]hardest part of
[B]this is leavin' [C#]you [Caug] [E/B] (E(B5)/Bb)
'Cause the [F#m]hardest part of [B]this is leavin' [E]you
