Intro  C 

C 
Some friends come in and out of view 
                           F                    C 
Last time I looked we were dancing like dogs on fire 
C 
Now I'm laughing with your little girl 
                  F               C 
Laughing about my sunburn on that day 

C 
Oh, it's good to see her smile 
                   F            C 
I remember how you held me as I cried 
C 
Flailing like a landed fish 
                                  F        C 
Trying to get back to before this day went away 

                       F 
But who would make the cut 
                 Am   G 
When our time is up 
                             F 
And everyone pointing at the sky 
              C      G 
Screaming the end is nigh 

     C 
It's coming 
C            
Like an explorer clearing ground 
                     F               C 
Swinging your blade, flashing in the sun 
C 
You come right through my moped 
               F                C 
Pick me up and then was on your way 

C 
I treasure the stars 
C 
We'll always have 
        F                 C 
I don't remember where we were 
C 
Don't think we'd return 
                  F                    C 
These moments are fleeting as they are pure 

                           F 
But I think you'd make the cut 
                 Am    G 
When our time is up 
                         F 
Everyone pointing at the sky 
              C      G 
Screaming the end is nigh 

C 
It's coming 

F Am G 

F                 Am   G 
Everybody for the last time 
F                       Am   F 
Come here to me for the last time 

C 
Will it be a fireball from the sky? 
           F               C 
Or will we all take to the bed 
C 
Laid low by a new pox? 
            F                 C 
Or will the wrong guy get the codes? 

C 
Whose arms will I seek? 
                   F                 C 
Whose eyes would I meet in the final throws 
C 
And say it was good to be human? 
        F              C 
To be a human with you here 

                   F 
Who would make the cut 
                 Am   G 
When our time is up? 
                             F 
And everyone pointing at the sky 
              C      G 
Screaming the end is nigh 

                       F 
I think you'd make the cut 
                 Am   G 
When our time is up 
                             F 
And everyone pointing at the sky 
               C      G 
Screaming, the end is nigh 

C 
It's coming 
C 
Oh, hold me, it's coming 
C 
Hold me, it's coming  
C 
Hold me, it's coming  
C 
Hold me, it's coming  
C 
Hold me, it's coming  
C 
Hold me, it's coming  
C 
Hold me, it's coming
