[Intro]
D A D A
[Verse]
D A
I lived my life as kind as I could
D A
I did my best I hope I was good
D A E
I'll always wish I'd crossed a few more lines
F#m E D
But I always lived like there wasn't enough time
[Verse]
D A
I'll leave footprints for you in the sand
D A
A couple of notes only you'll understand
D A E
I have one wish that someday you'll see
F#m E D
How much your love, your love has meant to me
[Chorus]
D A
So when I'm gone throw me a party
D A
You should dance as if I was there
D A E
Don't be sad or be broken hearted
F#m E D
Send your voices up in the air
D A
Sing my songs and light up the sparklers
D A E
Tell my stories and drink all my wine
F#m E D
And know my life is just getting started
D D
When I'm gone
D A E F#m E D
Throw me a party
[Verse]
D A
Step outside with my ashes
D A E
Wait for a beautiful wind
F#m E D
Underneath that fire yellow aspen
D E
Toss me to her leaves and let the healing begin
[Chorus]
D A
So when I'm gone throw me a party
D A
You should dance as if I was there
D A E
Don't be sad or be broken hearted
F#m E D
Send your voices up in the air
D A
Sing my songs and light up the sparklers
D A E
Tell my stories and drink all my wine
F#m E D
And know my life is just getting started
D D
When I'm gone
D A E C#m
Throw me a party
[Bridge]
D
The hardest part is
A A
Knowing that you'll miss me
C#m D
Won't you promise
[Chorus]
D A
That when I'm gone you'll throw me a party
D A
You should dance as if I was there
D A E
Don't be sad or be broken hearted
F#m E D
Send your voices up in the air

[Outro]
F#m E D
Don’t be sad or be broken hearted
D A
Send your voices up in the air
I lived my life as kind as I could
I did my best, I hope I was good
I'll always wish I'd crossed a few more lines
But I always lived like there wasn't enough time
I'll leave footprints for you in the sand
A couple of notes only you'll understand
I have one wish that someday you'll see
How much your love, your love has meant to me
So when I'm gone, throw me a party
You should dance as if I was there
Don't be sad or be broken-hearted
Just send your voices up in the air
Sing my songs and light up the sparklers
Tell my stories and drink all my wine
And know my life is just getting started
When I'm gone
Throw me a party
Come on and throw me a party
Step outside with my ashes
And wait for a beautiful wind
Underneath that fire yellow aspen
And toss me to her leaves and let the healing begin
So when I'm gone, throw me a party
You should dance as if I was there
Don't be sad or be broken-hearted
Just send your voices up in the air
Sing my songs and light up the sparklers
Tell my stories and drink all my wine
And know my life is just getting started
And I'm gone
Throw me a party
The hardest part is
Knowing that you'll miss me
(Knowing that you'll miss me)
Won't you promise
That when I'm gone, you'll throw me a party
You should dance as if I was there
Don't be sad or be broken-hearted
Send your voices up in the air
Sing my songs and light up the sparklers
Tell my stories and drink all my wine
And know my life is just getting started (just getting started)
And when I'm gone
Throw me a party
Come on and throw me a party
Oh, throw me a party
Don't be sad or be broken-hearted
Send your voices up in the air
