Em,

Em B7, Em7 D7,
G D7, G B7 Em

[Em]
Verse 1:

[Em] No more lying [B7]friends,
[Em7] Wanting tragic [D7]ends.
[G] Though they do pre-[D7]tend;
[G] They won't go when [B7]I go.[Em]

Interlude:

Em B7, Em7 D7,
G D7, G B7 Em

[Em] All those bleeding [B7]hearts,
With [Em7]sorrows to im-[D7]part;
Were [G]right here from the [D7]start.
And [G]they won't go when [B7]I go.[Em]

Chorus 1:

And [Adim]I'll [Abdim]go,
Where [Gdim]I've [F#dim]longed,
[Fdim] To [Edim]go,
[Ebdim] So [Ddim]long,
[Gdim] A -[F#dim]way,
[B7] From [Em]tears.

Interlude:

Em B7, Em7 D7,
G D7, G B7 Em

Verse 2:

[Em] Gone from painful [B7]cries,
A-[Em7]way from saddened [D7]eyes,
A-[G]long with him I'll [D7]bide;
Because [G]they won't go when [B7]I go.[Em]

Interlude:

Em B7, Em7 D7,
G D7, G B7 Em

[Em] Big men feeling [B7]small,
[Em7] Weak ones standing [D7]tall;
[G] I will watch them [D7]fall,
[G] They won't go when [B7]I go.[Em]

Chorus 2:

And [Adim]I'll [Abdim]go,
Where [Gdim]I've [F#dim]longed,
[Fdim] To [Edim]go,
[Ebdim] So [Ddim]long,
[Gdim] A -[F#dim]way,
[B7] From [Em]tears.

Bridge 1:

[Em] Unclean minds mis-lead the pure,
[C] The innocent will leave for sure,
[Em] For them there is a [A7]resting place.

[Em] People sinning just for fun,
[C] They will never see the sun,
[Em] For they can never show their [A7]faces.

There ain't no [D7]room,
For the hopeless sinner,
Who will [G7]take more,
Than he will [C]give;
He'll [B7]give, he'll [Bbdim]give,
Adim
He ain't hardly gonna give,
Ooh [Em]yeah.

Break:

[Em]
Verse 3:

The [Em]greed of man will [B7]be,
[Em7] Far away from [D7]me.
And [G]my soul will be [D7]free;
I will watch them fall,
[G] They won't go when [B7]I go.[Em]

Interlude:

Em B7, Em7 D7,
G D7, G B7 Em

[Em] Since my soul con-[B7]ceived,
[Em7] All that I be-[D7]lieve,
The [G]kingdom I will [D7]see;
'Cos [G]they won't go when [Em]I go.[B7]

Chorus 3:

When [Adim]I [Abdim]go,
Where [Gdim]I'll [F#dim]go,
[Fdim] No [Edim]one,
[Ebdim] Can [Ddim]keep,
[Gdim] Me [F#dim]from;
[B7] My...desti...[Em]ny.

Em B7, Em7 D7,
