Strum
D-DU-UDU
At  last I understand the consequences  of my love
 But how  could there be a heaven where they kicked  you out
 'cause you kicked out your chair from above
 Everybode loves to stick  with the winner
 But you  showed me the line between victory  and dying
 couldn't get much thinner 'cause you
 You found out how to get down
Down like me
When  my self-pity became less  than a full-time work
I  meditated on the methods and  the means
 and whether or not it would hurt
 Then I got a call they found you swinging  out over the earth
 And so  over me you win again in finishes,  forms,
 in finals and in firsts
 You finally had to get down
Down like me
"By  the time you read this I will no  longer be here"
I  had to read these words to all your family,  friends
 everybody you never held dear
 We'll keep an empty place at dinner  forever
 And I'll  maintain an empty chair so  you can set in
 And we'll never grow old together
 You showed 'em how to get down
Down like me
