D# A# Fm G#
[Verse 1]
D#You're getting older now
A#I see the lines around your smile
FmI see what's coming 'round the corner
G#And that's a lot for an only child
D#Cause I don't know yet
A#If I want kids of my own
FmBut I know that if I don't
G#It ends with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm G#If I had a sister or a brother
Fm G#We could share the burden with each other
[Chorus]
D#Cause one day you'll be gone
A#Then I'll be gone too
FmDon't know if I'll carry it on
G#Oh but someday if I do
D#Then our family name
A#It won't just be mine
FmAnd I'll see your face
G#When I'm looking in their eyes
Fm D#But that's only
G#If I carry on your bloodline
[Verse 2]
D#I'm only 23
A#I've got my whole life left to live
FmI know I shouldn't think like this
G#But I can't help it
D#You were 43
D#When you had me
A#You took your time
A#But that took mine
FmAnd soon you'll leave
FmThen it's just me
G# A#Left on the family tree
[Chorus]
D#One day you'll be gone
A#Then I'll be gone too
FmDon't know if I'll carry it on
G#Oh but someday if I do
D#Then our family name
A#It won't just be mine
FmAnd I'll see your face
G#When I'm looking in their eyes
Fm D#But that's only
G#If I carry on your bloodline
[Interlude]
D# A# Fm G#
[Chorus]
D#One day you'll be gone
A#And then I'll be gone too
FmIf I don't carry it on
G#They'll be nothing left of you
D#And it's a heavy weight
A#That I feel all the time
FmNot having a way
G# FmTo remember you by
D# G#If I don't carry on your bloodline
