[Verse 1]
E
I don't go to funerals,
A             E
I won't be at mine
I'll be somewhere lookin'
                          B7
back at loved ones left behind
   E
My life has been a wonder and
        A              E
I found my place in time

I won't be at mine

[Verse 2]
A
I'll be somewhere singin' songs
     E
with all those friends of mine

Life is great, but I can't wait
                     B7
to make our memories rhyme
    E
Now those who've gone before me
     A                   E
will save my place in line

I don't go to funerals,
B                E
I won't be at minе
