Cm
When your life is over

I won't be sad or blue

Lie down next to you

I'll kiss you once for life

[Verse 2]
    Fm            D7
You look so angry when you sleep
     G               Cm Cm7
Your face a troubled frown

So I will smooth your furrowed brow

[Verse 3]
    Cm
And as the mourners pass me

I will smile and wave
G7
Thank them for their sympathy
    Cm               G
And tell them I'll be brave
    Fm               D7
But once the wake is over
        G                  Cm C7
And I'm drunk and feeling fine
     Fm              Cm
I'll go out there and find me

Another boy to pass the time

As we're dancing cheek to cheek
        D
And the lights are laid low
     G
I'll request this song for you
       Cm            G
Laying in the ground below
Ab               Fm
Once the song is over
         Cm
And it's time to go to bed
     Ab               Fm
I'll leave him on the dance floor
    G                  Cm D G Cm
And return to you instead

[Chorus]

I'll kiss you once for life

I'll kiss you twice for death

Hold you close for comfort
