https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx2A8U6qpm8
Can play in standard tuning, or drop D (or in C with capo on fret 2)
D G D A D
D
Well the air was passed so quickly
G
It’s like there was no time at all
D
Those wild winds stayed with me
A
even when I turned to go
D
But this wicked world is twisted man
G
time moves both fast and slow
D
women lie there naked
A
their blood across the snow
D
In the calm defined collective
G
I’d bet you wish you’d never know
D
unless I stand corrected
A D
guess we’re out here on our own
G
We were born to die
D
Baby we were born to die
Life is just these questions
A
we’re never certain why
G
We were born to die
D
Baby we were born to die
Shining sea below us
A D
above us only sky
D G D A D
D
Well the years built up inside me
G
but the rains they left me cold
D
some things are forgotten
A
some things I’ll never know
D
In the lying eyes of justice
G
well they put on quite a show
D
with all the lights upon us
A D
how could we ever know
G
We were born to die
D
Baby we were born to die
I’ve got all these questions now
A
but who could ever mind
G
We were born to die
D
Baby we were born to die
Shining sea below us
A D
above us only sky
D G D A D
D
In the final hours of darkness
G
just before the break of dawn
D
I heard you move beside me
A
Like you’d been there all along
D
And it felt so good to know you babe
G
ten thousand can’t be wrong
D
And i pray that time will forget us
A D
leave us out here on our own.
