[Chorus A – no music. No beat. Harmonic male backing choir group vocals only. Chilled pace. Clicking fingers as a beat]
[Backing] Are you gunna miss me when i’m gone?
[Backing] are you gunna deem my decision wrong?
[Backing] are you gunna say i counted down too fast?
[Backing] coz I’m Counting down the days til the day becomes my last
[Drum beat kicks in first and then the music 3 seconds afterwards. Rhythm guitar strum. Soft electric lead guitar riff at end of sentence. Some soft pads. Rock, indie, country vibe ]
[Verse 1]
Nothings changed in 40 years – why should i think it will?
The dreams, the screams, my fears, my past – would hope to haunt me still.
My fight, resolve, my will to win – diminished over time.
Realising the battles lost – it’s finally my time.
[Bridge – backing male choir humming in harmonies]
[Verse 2]
Running up the hill of hope - and falling at the top
A life of constant failure – my prayers were left to rot
Thinking of the so called friends - who didn’t want to know.
Have felt so tired fighting – this suffering alone.
[Bridge – backing male choir humming in harmonies]
[Chorus B - harmonies]
Counting down til the day that its all over
I’m too far gone for anyone to save
Counting down to crossing over
And my soul can be at peace beyond the grave
[Verse 3]
[Instrumental]
[Bridge – backing male choir humming in harmonies]
[Chorus B – harmonies]
Counting down til the day that its all over
I’m too far gone for anyone to save
Counting down to crossing over
And my soul can be at peace beyond the grave
[Bridge 2 – different tune - emotional]
In my darkest hour, i will find the light
At my weakest moment, i will find the fight
I will do whatever i have to do
To decide my fate and see it through.
[Bridge – backing male choir humming in harmonies]
[Verse 4]
Pondering my final act – another day goes by
Betraying those i love with another theft or lie.
Forgotten, not forgiven, til the next time i betray
And then to be forgiven - not forgotten - i will pray
[Chorus B - harmonies. Building up to last chorus]
Counting down til the day that its all over
I’m too far gone for anyone to save
Counting down to crossing over
And my soul can be at peace beyond the grave
[Chorus B – harmonies. More powerful]
Counting down til the day that its all over
I’m too far gone for anyone to save
Counting down to crossing over
And my soul can be at peace beyond the grave
[Chorus A - harmonies. Music stripped back. play out- music fades out while the chorus is being sung. The last line of chorus should be male backing group ONLY]
[Backing] Are you gunna miss me now i’m gone?
[Backing] are you gunna deem my decision wrong?
[Backing] are you gunna say i counted down too fast?
[ No music]
[Backing] coz i Counted down the days til the day became my last
