Intro:  G  D/F#  Em7  D/F#  G  D/F#  A 
 
           G           D/F#     Em7            D/F# 
I'm gonna clean the house,  I'm gonna fix the fence 
       G       D/F#          A 
In my final hours, I'm gonna tie up these loose ends 
         G        D/F#     Em7        D/F# 
I won't leave a note,  for anyone to find 
   G              D/F#            A           D 
Tomorrow they'll know, what I've done here tonight 
 
 
Chorus: 
     G 
The drastic steps I've taken 
 
Are just an act of desperation 
   D 
I knew no one would miss me so what the hell 
G 
I fought, I lied, I drank too much 
 
Hurt everyone I've ever touched 
     D 
And just how much I hurt you is hard to tell 
        Em7 
This is not some cry for help 
 
It's goodbye I wish you well 
           G                           (repeat intro) 
Because I love you, I'm gonna kill myself 
 
 
     G        D/F#  Em7       D/F# 
Now who is that, in my easy chair 
     G          D/F#           A 
Now wait a minute, that's the old me sittin' there 
    G         D/F#   Em7         D/F# 
And I thank God, the devil in me died 
         G            D/F#          A            D 
Cause I stand before you now a man changed and alive 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
     G 
The drastic steps I've taken 
 
Are just an act of desperation 
   D 
I knew no one would miss me so what the hell 
G 
I fought, I lied, I drank too much 
 
Hurt everyone I've ever touched 
     D 
And just how much I hurt you is hard to tell 
        Em7 
This is not some cry for help 
 
It's goodbye I wish you well 
           G                          (repeat intro) 
Because I love you, I had to kill myself 
 
           G           D/F#     Em7            D/F# 
I'm gonna clean the house,  I'm gonna fix the fence 
       G       D/F#          A 
In my final hours, I'm gonna tie up these loose ends
