How Im Going Out

B E B E

[Verse 1]
     B
Someday somebody's gonna stop and look
                           G#m
Or scratch their head and say
                                     E
'What happened to him? It's been a while since I heard that name'
           B
The story goes

I told one last joke, bum one more smoke
      G#m                      E
And then paid my tab and just disappeared one day

[Pre-Chorus]
      C#m                         E
I've kicked around this old town long enough to see
     C#m
The one's who left to soon
                  E
And the ones who didn't know when to leave

[Chorus]
               B                        E
And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel
           B                            E
I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell
     G#m
Be thankful for the friends I've made
     E
The hungry years, the glory days
         B                                  E
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
                      B
That's how I'm going out

E B E

[Verse 2]
        B
When I go
                            G#m
I'll be another page torn away, a memory made
          E
Another ghost on music road
           B
But I can say I gave it hell, I rang the bell
           G#m              E
But I'll know when there's no more dreams to chase

[Chorus]
               B                        E
And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel
           B                            E
I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell
     G#m
Be thankful for the friends I've made
     E
The hungry years, the glory days
         B                                  E
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
                      G#m E B F#
That's how I'm going out
                      G#m E B F#
That's how I'm going out

               B                        E
And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel
           B                            E
I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell
     G#m
No slowing down, no looking back
          E
Let the credits roll and fade to black
          B                                 E
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
          B                                 E
Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down
                      B  E
That's how I'm going out
                      B  E
That's how I'm going out

[Outro]
     B
Someday somebody's gonna stop and look
                           G#m
Or scratch their head and say
                                     E
'What happened to him? It's been a while since I heard that name'
