INTRO: F#m Em - (8x) 




F#m                  Em 
    No need to feel ashamed  
F#m                        Em 
    There's nothing to be gained  
Gm                                   Dm 
    When your dreams are in the past 
F#m                             Em 
    Like stars we crush and burn  
F#m                Em 
    Only to return 
Gm                       Dm 
    Life goes by so fast 


PRE-CHORUS:
 
Am                       
   So who is left to play 
G  
   Nothing's quite the same  
F#m                     F 
   We can't live in the past  
Am 
   I'm burning inside as the sun  
G 
   And I only just begun  
F#m                 F 
   Love it fades so fast 



Bm G                Am G 
     Sometimes I forget all I will regret  
F#m                          F                          
   When I leave this world behind 
Bm G                 
     And sometimes I'm not sure 
F#m                   
   What I'm fighting for  
              G 
It happens all the time.  


COUPLET (plays the same way as the 1st one):
 
I know I've had enough, maybe far too much  
It's easy to be kind  
And when it's just me and you  
I know what I have to do  
I know I can leave this world behind  


PRE-CHORUS (plays the same way as the 1st one):
 
No need to feel ashamed  
When there's nothing to be gained 
When your dreams are in the past. 
Like stars we crush and burn  
Only to return  
These lines are change so fast  




Bm G                Am G 
     Sometimes I forget all I will regret  
F#m                          F                          
   When I leave this world behind 
Bm G                 
     And sometimes I'm not sure 
F#m                   
   What I'm fighting for  
              G 
It happens all the time.  


END:
 
F#m               F 
    It happens all the time  
F#m               F 
    It happens all the time...
