verse 1
Bb
One day you wake up
G
And this life will be over
Bb
Every party must break up
G
For burdens to shoulder
Bb
We're dying to live, living to die
G
No matter what you believe
Bb
And all of us cry
G
For the ones we must leave
G
So go and live a little
Bone turns brittle
And skin withers before your eyes (riff)
Make sure you give a little
Before you go to the great unknown in the sky (riff)
Bb -C- G riff
Bb -C- G riff
verse 2
Bb
Some will beg for forgiveness
G
From someone above
Bb
For something they did
G
Someone they love
Bb
Some scream like a baby
G
Some go out crying
Bb
Some bid the world goodbye
G
And welcome to die
