Live or die before I get it done will you decide?

D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

Take my words and turn them into signs they will survive

D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

because a long time ago I knew not to deprive

D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

It's safe out there now your everywhere just like the sky

D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

And you I love you, you are the lucid dream you are the ride

D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

And when you hear this you know it's your jam it's your goodbye


G G Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Em Em

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone

G G Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Em Em

and when the drummer drums it's gonna play my song to carry me along

G G Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Em Em

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone

and when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong


D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

We all cross when we were feeling lost it's just the time

D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

Could terry cry the day her lover died she recognized

D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

Because you gave her a life of real love it's no surprise

D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

The nights are long but the years are short when your alive

D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

Way back when we’ll never be again it was a time,

D D C C Am Am Em Em G G

It's gonna get you; so glad I met you to walk the line

About this song: Brendan's Death Song

The Brendan's Death Song Songfacts says: Following the departure of guitarist John Frusciante in 2009, the Red Hot Chili Peppers recruited longtime associate Josh Klinghoffer to replace him. Klinghoffer began writing and jamming with the band on October 12, 2009, the same day that Brendan Mullen - the LA nightclub owner who gave the band their first break - passed away. This ballad is a tribute to Mullen. Read more on Last.fm.
