Life is ^Gshort ^G/B ^G But the ^G/Bdays and nights are ^Clong ^Cadd9 ^Dsus2 And time will ^Gheal all these ^G/Bwounds Someday ^Gsoon, I'll be ^G/Brising I'll be ^Cstrong ^Cadd9 ^Dsus2

[Verse B] Em C Cadd0 Dsus2 But now I'm losing all my battles

^Em Now I'm ^Cdown and ^Cadd9dropping ^Dsus2still And this ^Gsnow's blowing ^G/Bthrough Like some ^Gghost with this ^G/Bblue I know too ^Cwell ^Cadd9 ^Dsus2

[Verse A]

Broken ^Ghearts ^G/B ^G Keep on ^G/Bbeating just the ^Csame ^Cadd9 ^Dsus2 So I ^Gguess I can ^G/Btoo go through these ^Gmoves Facing ^G/Bforward, walking ^Cstraight ^Cadd9 ^Dsus2

[Verse B] Em C Cadd0 Dsus2 But now my glance keeps drifting downward

^Em Now my ^Cfeet can't ^Cadd9find their ^Dsus2way And this ^Gcold's creeping ^G/Bin Through my ^Gbones, whisper^G/Bing it's here to ^Cstay ^Cadd9 ^Dsus2

[Verse A: instrumental] G G/B G G/B C Cadd9 Dsus2 G G/B G G/B C Cadd9 Dsus2 [Verse A]

So I'll bide my ^Gtime ^G/B ^G As if there's ^G/Bany other ^Cway ^Cadd9 ^Dsus2 It moves too ^Gslow, moves too ^G/Bfast, it's gone and ^Gpassed And stopped ^G/Bentirely to^Cday ^Cadd9 ^Dsus2

[Verse B] Em C Cadd0 Dsus2 I know there's light on some horizon

^Em But I can't ^Csee so ^Cadd9far a^Dsus2head Patience and ^Ggrace, oh blessed is ^G/Blove, I'm losing my ^Gfaith in most ^G/Bof that stuff those wise men ^Csaid ^Cadd9 ^Em Most of that ^Gstuff those ^Dwise men ^Csaid ^Cadd9 ^Dsus2

[Outro]

Life is ^Gshort ^G/B ^G But the ^G/Bdays and nights are ^Clong ^Cadd9 ^C
