The Gs in parentheses are optional, they're in the original and sound better than without, but if it's
too difficult to get all three chords in a row, you can just skip the G
Capo 1st
[Intro]
C E7 Am Dm Am G
C E7 Am G F C G C G
[Verse]
C E7 Am
You were gone when we found you
Dm Am G
You were practically surrounded, you were trapped
C E7 Am (G) F
But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold
C G C G
When they saw the look of love in your eyes
[Pre-chorus]
C E7
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
Am
And everything else was part of the plan
Dm Am G
And we sang: "I don't know where we will go..."
C E7 Am (G) F
From the alpha, the omega, the beginning and the end
C G C G
And we all just idolize the dead
[Chorus]
C E7 Am
So you were born, and that was a good day
Dm Am G
Someday you will die and that is a shame
C E7 Am (G) F
But somewhere in the between you lived a life of which we all dream
C G C G
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
[Bridge]
C E7 Am Dm Am G
Buh-duh-ba-dum...
C E7 Am G F C G C G
Bah-bah-dah-dum da-dum...
[Verse]
C E7 Am
You had a love and that love had you
F G# C G
And nothing mattered, you were fi~ne
C E7 Am (G) F
And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame
C G C G
They know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all
[Pre-chorus]
C E7
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
Am
And everything else was part of our path
Dm Am G
And we sang: "I don't know where we will go..."
C E7 Am (G) F
From the anthem, the slogan, the summary of events
C G C G
And we all just idealize the past
[Chorus]
C E7 Am
So you were born, and that was a good day
Dm Am G
Someday you will die and that is a shame
C E7 Am (G) F
But somewhere in the between you lived a life of which we all dream
C G C G
And nothing and no one will ever take that away
[Bridge]
C E7 Am Dm Am G
Buh-duh-ba-dum...
C E7 Am G F C G C G
Bah-bah-dah-dum da-dum...
[Pre-chorus]
C E7
Maybe all the times we had, they were not that bad
Am
And everything else was part of our path
Dm Am G
And we sang: "I don't know where we will go..."
C E7 Am (G) F
From the alpha, the omega, the beginning and the end
C G F G
And we all just idolize the dead, yeah the dead
[Outro]
C E7 Am G F
And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end
C G F C
But we can't just get in line again.
