[Intro]
D5
I'm waiting in my cold cell
When the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life
And it doesn't have much time
Bb C5 D5
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the gallows pole
Bb C5 D5
The sands of time for me are running low, motherfuckers
D5 Bb C5
Running low
D5 Bb C5 (2x)
[Verse 1]
D5 N.C.
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
A5|Bb5 N.C.
Take a look through the bars at the last sights
Bb5|C5 N.C. D5
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
D5 N.C A5|Bb5
Can it be that there's some sort of error
N.C. Bb5|C5
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
N.C D5
Is it really the end not some crazy dream?
Bb5
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
C5
It's not easy to stop from screaming
D5
But words escape me when I try to speak
C5 D5 Bb5
Tears they flow but why am I crying?

After all I'm not afraid of dying

Don't I believe that there never is an end

[Verse 2]
C5|D5
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
A5|Bb5
Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you"
Bb5|C5 D5
If there's a god then why has he let me go?
C5|D5
As I walk my life drifts before me
A5|Bb5
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Bb5|C5 D5
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
C5|D5
Mark my words, believe my soul lives on
A5|Bb5
Don't worry now that I have gone
Bb5|C5 D5
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
C5|D5
So when you know that your time is close at hand
A5|Bb5
Maybe then you'll begin to understand

Life down here is just a strange illusion
