G Am
Place my body on the funeral pyre,
C G
cut it loose to float downstream.
G Am
Leave it frozen on a mountain top,
C G
suspend it high to be picked clean.
CHORUS:
D C
You said never to grow old,
G G
but you forgot to tell me how.
D C
You said never to grow old
G G
and then sank your teeth into those final feet.
G Am
Last night I dreamt of owls at my window.
C G
I knew that time was winding down.
G Am
Turned to tell you of my premonition,
C G
changed my mind and lay back down.
CHORUS...
G Am
No sense wasting the time you got,
C G
you got to walk down every road.
G Am
No sense pretending that you're what you're not,
C G
when you got to shoulder every load.
CHORUS...
GAmCG
GAm C G
Cut it loose, cut it loose, cut it loose
CHORUS...
