            Am               C G
You got to weep, you got to wail
            Am
You got to drag yourself on hands and knees
           G                      D
Bleeding another mile along the trail
            Am
You got to laugh in the face of the devil
           G
When he's hanging on to your shirttails
           Am                        G
You got to hold down the lid of the coffin
       Am
Hammer in the last nail

Chorus:
           C  G         Am
My baby's gone so far away
She's never coming back to me
My baby's gone so far away
G                          Am
She's never coming back to me

You got to live, you got to learn
How to find your way to the end of the night
When there's nowhere left to turn
How to keep the last embers of the fire alight
When there's nothing left to burn
How to say goodbye to the ashes that fly
From the cheap metal urn

Chorus - x2

She said go to sleep, you got to save
Your anger and rage for the living
'Cause they're no damn good in the grave
And don't waste your time on forgiving
The ones who just don't know how to behave
There's heaven and hell in
the world that you live in
But I'm in a different place

Chorus - x2
