[B]
[E] [B]
[E] Turn away, [B] if you could get me a [C#m] drink of water
Cause [Am] my lips are chapped and faded, call [E] my Aunt Marie
[B] Help her gather all my [C#m] things and bury me [Am] in all my favorite colors
But [A] my sisters and [F#] my brothers [B] still, I [G#] will not [C#m] catch you
[Am] Cause [F#] the [F#m] hardest part of [B] this is leaving
[E] you
Now turn away, [B] cause I'm awful just [C#m] to see
Cause all my [Am] hair's abandoned, all my body, all [E] my agony
[B] Know that I will never [C#m] marry, baby I'm [Am] just soggy from the chemo
[A] But counting down [F#] the days to [B] go, [G#] it just ain't [C#m] happening
And I just [Am] hope you know, [E] that if you say goodbye today
[C#m] I'd ask you to be [C#] true
[F#m] Cause the hardest part of [B] this is leaving [C#m] you
[C] [E] [A#m] Cause [F#] the [F#m] hardest part of [B] this is leaving [E] you
