Verse 1:
           C       B7             G        Am7
If I leave tomorrow, would you be alright?
                          C      B7
Would you be filled with sorrow?
                   G       Am7
Would you put up a fight?
          C         B7                  G       Am7
How can I protect you when I don't feel alright?

Chorus:
 C                      B7
If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage?
   G                          Am7
Or would you disappear right beside me?
 C                            B7
Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady?
   G                          Am7
Lover, please prepare for my absence

If I left the country, would you search and search?
                     C   B7                G       Am7
Or would you give up easy and find me in the dirt?
               C     B7
Would I live forever?
                    G       Am7
Or blend right into earth?

Chorus:
 C                      B7
If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage?
   G                          Am7
Or would you disappear right beside me?

Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady?
   G                          Am7
Lover, please prepare for my absence

Lover, please prepare for my absence
