   A                   C#m         G
I hope that people are sad when I die
                      D                Dm
But that I don't die for a long time, no
      A                B              E
If I go soon, have a drink and sing along
   A                   C#m            G
I hope that people are sad and they cry
                         D                Dm
But that they don't cry for a long time, no
      A                B              E
If I go soon, have a drink and sing along
             A     C#m G D
And sing it loud, oh,
         Dm A B E
sing it loud

I hope that people are sad when I die
And talk about all of the times
I gave a dollar to a stranger
who needed it more than I
I hope that people are sad when I die
I hope they all go tell my mom
And my dad that they raised me right
Despite all of the mistakes that I made

 F#m  C#           E                B  
I'm sorry if I forgot to text you back
        D
But I swear I had your back
            G
If someone talked behind your back

I hope that people are sad when I die
But that I don't die for a long time, no
If I go soon, have a drink and sing along
I hope that people are sad and they cry
But that they don't cry for a long time, no
If I go soon, have a drink and sing along
And sing it loud, oh, sing it loud
Sing it loud, oh, sing it loud

If I was dead for a million years before I was born
And I'll be dead for a million years after I die
Then life is just a blip in the infinity of time
So love love and hate hate
So love love and hate hate
