It was only one hour ago 
F                       G 
It was all so different then 
C/G                     F           G 
There’s nothing yet has really sunk in 
              F      G 
Looks like it always did 
     C/G   F   G 
This flesh and bone 
              F                       G 
It's just the way that you would tied in 
            C/G  F   G 
Now there's no...one home 

F C/G        G 
I grieve for you 
F   C/G   G 
You leave me 
                     Am       G 
It’s so hard to move on 
                    Am        G 
Still loving what's gone 
                      Am      G 
They say life carries on 
               Am             G 
Carries on and on and on and on

The news that truly shocks is the empty empty page 
          F            G         C/G   F     G 
While the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage

And I can't handle this 
  
F C/G        G 
I grieve for you

               Am       G 
Missing what's gone 
                      Am      G 
They say life carries on 
                      Am             G 
They say life carries on and on and on 

Am 

Am 
Life carries on 
Am 
In the people I meet 
Am 
In everyone that's out on the street 
Am 
In all the dogs and cats 
Am 
In the flies and rats 
Am 
In the rot and the rust 
Am 
In the ashes and the dust 
Am                                G 
Life carries on and on and on and on 
             Am            G 
Life carries on and on and on 

                          Am 
It's just the car that we ride in  
  F         C/G  G 
A home we reside in  
                 Am 
The face that we hide in  
    F          C/G  G 
The way we are tied in  
                 Am                   G 
And life carries on and on and on and on  
             Am            G 
Life carries on and on and on

    C/G        F  G 
Now I can find relief
