But as much as I can say that and mean it, I do know that God is good.
And I do know that as much as we may feel, and we do, that we need Michael here with us,
God must have needed him far more.
Michael, I love you and I've told you that many times, so I'm at peace, at peace with that.
[C#] I, um, as well told you that I [D#]
[C#] never ever imagined that I would write a song that would be sent to Quincy Jones
and you would hear it and my sister Renee would get me the cassette and I'd hear it back and be amazed that you [G#] did this song.

[B] [C] I thought you would [F] go then come [C] back [D] home.
[G]
[Dm] I thought the [G] cold would [A]
leave my [Dm] soul,
[A#] but my quiet nights [G] will be spent [G#] alone.
[Dm] You [G]
[D] said you would [G] be the [D] light in autumn.
[G] [D]
Said you'd be the [G] one to [D] lead the [E] way.
[B]
[Em] No, I never [B] leave in [Em] summer, [C] but now

[Bm] [F#m]
[D] [A]
[C#] [F#m] All those [C#] bleeding [F#m] hearts with sorrows to [Bm] impart,
[F#m] All right here from the [D] start, [A] and they won't go [C#] when I [F#m] go.
[B] And I [E] go
[Em] [D]
[G] to [C] go
[F] so [A#] long
[D#] the [G#] way
[C#] [F#m] from tears.
The unclean minds must leave the cure, [D] the innocent will leave for sure,
[F#m] But then there is a risen [B] [F#m] place.
[F#m] People sinning just for fun, [D] they will never see the [F#m] sun,
But they can never show their [B] faces.
There ain't [E] no room for [F#] the [G#] hopeless sinner,
[E] Who [A] will take more than he [D] will give.
He will [C#] give, he will [Am] give, he ain't [B] hardly gonna give.
[F#m] Oh yeah.

[Bm] [F#m]
[Bm] [A]
[C#] [F#m] The greed of man [G#m] will be [A] far away from [Bm] me,
[F#m] And my soul will be [D] free, [A] and they won't go when [C#] I [F#m] go.
[G#m] [F#m]
[Bm] [F#m] [D]
[A]
[F#m] Since my soul [C#]
