[Intro: ]G D/F# Em7 D/F# G D/F# A
 
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
I'm gonna clean the house, I'm gonna fix the fence
G D/F# A
In my final hours, I'm gonna tie up these loose ends
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
I won't leave a note, for anyone to find
G D/F# A D
Tomorrow they'll know, what I've done here tonight
 
Chorus:
G
The drastic steps I've taken
 
Are just an act of desperation
D
I knew no one would miss me so what the hell
G
I fought, I lied, I drank too much
 
Hurt everyone I've ever touched
D
And just how much I hurt you is hard to tell
Em7
This is not some cry for help
 
It's goodbye I wish you well
G (repeat intro)
Because I love you, I'm gonna kill myself
 
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
Now who is that, in my easy chair
G D/F# A
Now wait a minute, that's the old me sittin' there
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
And I thank God, the devil in me died
G D/F# A D
Cause I stand before you now a man changed and alive
 
Chorus 2:
G
The drastic steps I've taken
 
Are just an act of desperation
D
I knew no one would miss me so what the hell
G
I fought, I lied, I drank too much
 
Hurt everyone I've ever touched
D
And just how much I hurt you is hard to tell
Em7
This is not some cry for help
 
It's goodbye I wish you well
G (repeat intro)
Because I love you, I had to kill myself
 
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
I'm gonna clean the house, I'm gonna fix the fence
G D/F# A
In my final hours, I'm gonna tie up these loose ends
