F#m              C#7/G#
 No more lying friends,
F#m7/A            E7/B
 Wanting tragic ends.
A/C#                 E7/D
 Though they do pre-tend;
A/E                C#7/F  F#m
 They won't go when I go.

All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Were right here from the start
And they won't go when I go

Chorus:
    Bdim  A#dim
And I'll go,
      Adim   G#dim
Where I've longed,
Gdim F#dim
To go,
Fdim Edim
 So long,
Adim G#dim
  Away,
C#7   F#m
From tears.

Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with him I'll bide
Because they won't go when I go

Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
I will watch them fall
They won't go when I go

Chorus

F#m
Unclean minds mis-lead the pure,
D
The innocent will leave for sure,
F#m                          B7
For them there is a resting place.

F#m
People sinning just for fun,
D
They will never see the sun,
F#m                            B7
For they can never show their faces.

               E7
There ain't no room, for the hopeless sinner,
         A7
Who will take more,
              D
Than he will give;
      C#7          Cdim
He'll give, he'll give,
                Bdim
He ain't hardly gonna give,
    F#m
Ooh yeah.

The greed of man will be far away from me
And my soul will be free
They won't go when I go
Since my soul conceived

All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
Cause they won't go when I go

Chorus:
When I go
Where I'll go
No one can keep me
From my destiny
