| G/B    | Am  C  | G      | C/E    |


[Verse 1]
  G/B                Am     C           G/D  C/E
A white wooden cross by the side of the road
G/B             Am      C       G/D  Am
One someone lost that I did not know
G/B          Em
What would I do?
G            A7
What would I do?
     G/B               Am          C        G    D
If a white wooden cross meant that I'd lost you


[Verse 2]
G/B             Am   C           G/D  C/E
I asked myself, "How would I let go?"
      G/B              Am     C       G/D  Am
And a thought appeared like a morning dew
G/B              Em
And my blood ran cold
G            A7
My blood ran cold
G/B      Am   C           G
As these sad ideas passed through


[Chorus]
Bm
Tell me no lies
Am
Tell me no lies
Bm
Is it stranger to live?
Cmaj7       C6  D
 Is it stranger  to die?


[Instrumental]
| G/B    | Am  C  | G      | C/E    |
| G/B    | Am  C  | G/D    | Am     |


[Pre-Chorus]
Bm           Em
What would I do?
G            A7
What would I do?
     G/B                Am          C        G
If a white, wooden cross meant that I'd lost you


[Chorus]
Bm
Tell me no lies
Am
Tell me no lies
Bm
Is it stranger to live?
Cmaj7       C6         D
 Is it stranger to be alive?


[Verse 3]
G/B                Am   C    G/D  C/E
For all the people that I am not
G/B                  Am   C         G/D     Am
And all their prayers and all their thoughts
G/B                      Em
There's so much more out there
G                  A7
Than here where I stand
G/B            Am      C
I blow my horn for the whole band


[Outro]

| G      | Am  C  |
| G      | Am  C  | G      |
