"Every Second"
by Vocal Few
Tune guitar 1 half step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
VERSE 1
EA woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a Aterrible thing to get old
I Easked her why, she said because you die and one Bpiece at a time you unfold
I said I Efeel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been Adying since the day I was born
But Ethere's still one thing worse than that
it's Adying without a Bwarning
It's Adying without being warned B
CHORUS
So if the C#5cabin pressure drops and Bwe start Afalling from the sky
E B (C5)
We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
But if C#5we don't die today then Bmay this Amemory remain
That Eevery second lived is worth each Bsecond of the pain A
VERSE 2
EOh flight attendant could you tell me the story of how
Ayou gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself
ESo calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile
AIf today he takes you would you say that your life was worthBwhiAle,
and just Bsmile? A B
CHORUS
BRIDGE
HallelEujah, HallelAujah (x2)
EI never dreamed this life for me, but I am not afraid
AAt 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate
EIf my work here's complete before we hit the ground
AMay we sing the truth that sets us free, 'cause every second counts (Repeat)
