When we die
                Em
Is it just like sleeping?
         F                    Fm             C/G    G
Does the light mean that it's light like in air?
       C/G                        Em
Will I dream? Will I get to meet Jesus?
            F           Fm          C/G
Or like the Lama will I come right back?
Am        Em           F   Fm            C/G    G
Years go fast, live each day like it's the last
Am       G          C/G
Need not waste time asking
Dm6        Em(9)            Am  Am/B    F
Why? in my life, no holding back

       C/G             Em
Like a whale with his song
                F           Fm         C/G     G
He sings of the memories of long days gone
      C/G      Em         F  Fm  C/G
So do I, sing along, I'll remember you

Am        Em
Years go fast
            F   Fm  C/G  G
I'm already looking back at this
Am    G            C/G
Me, I know I won't last
             Dm6               Em(9)
Cause when I cry, I don't just cry
          Am  Am/B    F
I fold in half

        C/G            Em             F Fm C/G G
You are loved, you are loved, you are lo       ved
        C/G            Em             F Fm C/G (Fig. 2)
You are loved, you are loved, you are lo       ved

(Am  Am/B  C/G  Dm6  Em(9)  Am  Am/B  F)

          C/G         Em
There's a fear about leaving here
        F  Fm           C/G   G
And the devil you will find
       C/G                         Em
But if love, if love is all there ever was
            F            Fm    C/G   (Fig. 1)
There'll be peace on the other side

Am        Em
Years go fast
          F    Fm           C/G  G
Live each day like it's the la   st
Am       G      C/G
Me, I'll go out dancing
             Dm6                   Em(9)
Cause when I die, I know I'm gonna fly
                Am  Am/B    F
Into an angel's hands

        C/G            Em             F Fm C/G G
You are loved, you are loved, you are lo       ved
        C/G            Em             F Fm C/G (Fig. 2)
You are loved, you are loved, you are lo       ved
        F  Fm    C/G
You are lo       ved
