[Verse 1]
F C
Living with my back against the wall
F C
Nowhere but forward to fall

I close my eyes, somebody catch my breath
Dm Em F G
Oh, my Lord, let's get on board, the ride's gonna scare me to death, yeah
[Chorus]
Dm G C C/B Am G
Oh, I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Dm G C C/B Am G
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
Dm G C C/B Am G
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Dm G F C
Don't wanna die asking for another chance

Come help me, Poor Richard, won't you help me raise a glass?
F C
Well, here's to me, here's to you, may your dreams all come to pass

Cruel trick of time is played in the wink of an eye
Dm Em F G
Heavens above don't need no shove, years go sailing by, yeah

[Verse 3]
F C
Another game of chance, a lifetime come and gone
F C
I guess it's up to me, don't wanna sing another man's song
F C
I wanna say what Grandma said, lying on her dying bed
Dm Em F G
"Yeah, been cheated, mistreated, don't have to sign out yet, yeah"
[Chorus]
Dm G C C/B Am G
Oh, I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Dm G C C/B Am G
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
Dm G C C/B Am G
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Dm G F C
Don't wanna die asking for another chance
F C
No, not another chance
F C
No, not another chance, oh yeah...
