Lyrics:
C F G C F G
i'm more afraid of living than i am scared to die
C F G C F G
im more afraid of falling than i am of flying high
F C G F C G
every moral has a story and every story has an end
F C G F C G
every battle has its glory and its consequence
(repeat the above pattern)
im more afraid of loving than i am of being scorned
but i will keep on trying though i have been forewarned
every moral has a story and every story has an end
every battle has its glory and its consequence
i would rather be lonely and you have someone to hold
im not as scared of dying as i am of growing old
every moral has a story and every story has an end
every battle has its glory and its consequence
