[Intro] D Bm G A [Verse] D Bm On the day that I die G Tell my mother I was smiling A 'Cause I know that D she'll be crying rivers wide Bm Tell my friends that it's alright G And say I'm sorry that I never text or A D called or wrote more letters, should've tried Bm Let 'em know it ain't goodbye G 'Cause every door in every dawn A Bm You know I'm only ever on the other side [Chorus] A G So, don't cry, don't cry [Verse] D Bm On the day that I leave G I hope the memoriеs find you happy A And my dad ain't too mad D at me to say the least Bm I pray my sistеr gets to sleep G I wish I coulda said it better A What all those times Bm we had together meant to me [Chorus] A G So, don't cry, don't cry A D On the day that I die [Bridge] Bm Oh, ohh G Just as the Sun will rise And the Sun will set D I will love you just the F#m same from somewhere different Bm Until you close your eyes G And we meet again A D Don't you cry [Verse] Bm On the day that I die G I promise that I'll be reliving A Every second, D every minute of you and I Bm Flashing right before my eyes G Every young and dumb decision A Every blessing I was given, Bm oh, what a life [Chorus] A G So, don't cry, don't cry Bm A G Don't cry, don't cry A D On the day that I die
