F       C Gm           Dm
I am a man, I am self aware
F          C            Gm                      A#
Everywhere I go, you're always right there with me

I flirted with you all my life
Even kissed you once or twice
And to this day I swear it was nice
But, clearly, I was not ready

When you touched a friend of mine
I thought that I would lose my mind
But I found out with time
That, really, I was not ready, no, no

Chorus:
F C      Gm Dm
Oh death, oh death,
F C        Gm              A#
Oh death, really, I'm not ready

Oh death, you hinder me
Death makes those dear to me
Tease me with your sweet relief
You're cool and you are constant

When my mom was cancer sick
She fought but then succumbed to it
But you made her beg for it
"Lord Jesus, please, I'm ready"

Chorus:
Oh death, oh death
Oh death, really, I’m not ready, no, no
Oh death, oh death
Oh death, clearly, I'm not ready
