LYRICS
I’m wondering (I wonder) how hard
Is the cement really that thick?
I wonder (I’m wondering) how hard
If I’m going to dive through…
… is there a trick
Chorus
A circle of angels singing ’round your head
When the jumper jumps, he makes his own bed
You know it’s really, really gonna smart
Right before you start to stop your heart
Should I go head first
To minimize the pain
Should I go feet first
With or agin’ the grain?
Chorus
ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 2
Am Em
Written and recorded in Chester County, Pennsylvania. It is a suicide prevention song inspired by *Cowboy* Dan Willimann after he jumped from the Chestnut Street parking garage in West Chester, Pennsylvania. For anyone that thinks suicide is the “coward’s way out”… I think not.
You know it’s really, really gonna smart
Right before you start to stop your heart
Daniel — Vocals, Guitar
From the album Earthling Country
