Sting - Just one lifetime

^BmThe time has come, the world has said, ^F#mTo talk of many things, ^EOf ships and shoes and sealing wax, ^E7Of cabbages and kings.

^BmLife a the greatest gift given to humanity, ^F#mSurround yourself with a lot a positive energy, ^EYuh caan buy it even if yuh have wull heap a money, ^E7A das why we spread love ina the community. ^BmYuh coulda be small man or a celebrity, ^F#mYuh coulda live uptown or di ina city, ^EWi need a world full peace and serenity, ^E7Sting come sing out fi everybody.

^BmThe time has come, as Shaggy said, ^F#mTo talk of many things, ^EOf ships and shoes and sealing wax, ^E7Of cabbages and kings.

^BmThe planets tune in retrograde, ^F#mThe moon seems to have fled, ^EThe world is spinning upside down, ^E7And landed on its head.

Just one ^Dlifeti^F#mme, And there's only o^Ene, yes there's only o^E7ne. Just one l^Dife to ^F#mlive, Assuming that we'll ^Emake it, E7

^BmI'm with you, the Walrus said, ^F#mWe'll dress for heavy weather, ^EWhatever's on the road ahead, ^E7We're in this now together.

^BmWe thought we'd make a run for it, ^F#mNot knowing where we're headed, ^EWe packed the car with both our bags, ^E7And filled her up unleaded.

Just one ^Dlifeti^F#mme, And there's only o^Ene, yes there's only o^E7ne. Just one l^Dife to ^F#mlive, Assuming that we'll ^Emake it, We've no choice but to ^E7take it.

^BmCome Meck wi Teck a page out a di book of life, ^F#mLego negativity and do what's right, ^EWi no longer need fi a fuss or fight, ^E7Unite the world an show dem di right. ^BmDis generation a set a new trend, ^F#mReplace di word enemy wid friend, ^ELeaders a di world these rules can't bend, ^E7dis a di message wi send to dem.

^BmThe time had come, a reckoning, ^F#mWe all knew it was coming, ^EWe headed North on empty roads, ^E7The engine gently humming.

^BmThe Walrus smoked a cigarette, ^F#mHe claimed it was his last, ^ENo signs of life, no gas, no food, ^E7In all the empty towns we passed.

^BmAll we have is me and you, ^F#mIt has to be enough, ^EI've got your back and you've got mine, ^E7If the going it gets rough.

Just one ^Dlifeti^F#mme, And there's only o^Ene, yes there's only o^E7ne. Just one l^Dife to ^F#mlive, Assuming that we'll ^Emake it, We've no choice but to ^E7take it.

^BmThe time has come, the Walrus said, ^F#mTo talk of many things, ^EOf ships and shoes and sealing wax, ^E7Of cabbages and kings.
