                                                   C 
Is it really that long since I held my tiny little sister?  
      Am                       A7                   D 
Is it really that long since I held her tiny little hand?  
         G                                       C           A7 
Here's a card from far away to say how much I've missed her  
          D                                                   G 
Now we're both on the shores of time, counting every grain of sand  
 
verse 1 
 
               Em                     C 
Every grain of sand, a day to last forever  
               D                 G 
Every grain of sand, a memory of time  
              Em 
Every hope we lost, every bridge we crossed  
                Am 
We did it all together  
               D                    B7 
Every dream we shared, every day we cared  
                  Em 
And tried to understand  
                   C 
How our lives were planned  
                     D 
But still a grain of sand  


      G                                            C 
Is it really that long since I held my tiny little sister?  
      Am                       A7                   D 
Is it really that long since I held her tiny little hand?  
         G                                       C           A7 
Here's a card from far away to say how much I've missed her  
          D                                                   G 
Now we're both on the shores of time, counting every grain of sand  

verse 2 
 
                  Em                               C 
In the streets we played the games we learned from others  
                  D                             G 
In the streets we played, till Mother called us home  
                  Em 
And the days were long, like a summer song  
                   Am 
That never told of winter  
                    D                B7 
And the chalk lines ran to a distant land  
                     Em 
We'd one day come to see  
                 C 
And we'd ask the stars  
                D 
Whoever will we be?  

      G                                             C 
Is it really that long since I held the tiny little sister?  
      Am                       A7                   D 
Is it really that long since I held her tiny little hand?  
         G                                       C           A7 
Here's a card from far away to say how much I've missed her  
          D                                                   G 
Now we're both on the shores of time, counting every grain of sand  
 
verse 3 
 
                  Em                    C 
Then we found our men, promised them forever  
                  D                       G 
Then we found our sons, promised them the world  
                         Em 
And we watched them grow, we watched them go  
                    Am 
As we had left each other  
                D                   B7 
And we tried to write, but we never quite  
                      Em 
Knew what we ought to say  
              C 
Now I send my love  
               D 
This and every day 

      G                                             C 
Is it really that long since I held the tiny little sister?  
      Am                       A7                   D 
Is it really that long since I held her tiny little hand?  
         G                                       C           A7 
Here's a card from far away to say how much I've missed her  
          D                                                   G 
Now we're both on the shores of time, counting every grain of sand  
          A                     D                             C   G  Am  G 
Now we're both on the shores of time, counting every grain of sand
