verse 1 
C       G                 A 
All the pain and the fear designated 
C         G                  E   Em 
There's a number of tears to cry 
Am   G               C 
So welcome to this life 
   Bm           D 
Oh it ain't easy 


verse 2 
Em                      D 
Planting flowers in the garden 
Am                    Em 
Or driving in your car 
                D 
Even when we're laughing 
   Bm                 Em 
No matter where we are 
                   D 
Tears are made for crying 
     Bm               Em 
Just give up the fight 
                    Bm 
The dawn is waiting for me 
       Am                   C 
At the end of this long night 


Pre-Chorus 
    G                    A 
How much can a body be broken 
C     G                      E     Em 
Am I getting too close to the fire 

Am         G         C 
Oh, let me hear the choir 


 
G                  Bm 
It's the strangest thing 
                  C 
Feels like you're near 
                  Em 
Standing by my side 
                      C 
Almost like you're here 
                          Am 
The whole world gave a sigh 
                              D7     D 
Like the night that Bowie died 


Bridge: C G A C G E Am G Em Bm D7 D 


Verse: 3 
Em                     D 
So come a little closer 
Am                    Em 
So I can see your face 
                     Bm 
I want you to remind me 
Am                   Em 
Of that special place 
                         D 
Where nothing can harm me 
C                            G 
We're just floating in space 

 
G                  Bm 
It's the strangest thing 
                  C 
Feels like you're near 
                  Em 
Standing by my side 
                      C 
Almost like you're here 
                          Am 
The whole world gave a sigh 
                              D7     D 
Like the night that Bowie died

Standing by my side 
                      C 
Almost like you're here 
                          Am 
The whole world gave a sigh 
                              D7     D 
Like the night that Bowie died
