CSeek and hide
Come along for the ride
There'll be many maGny ups and downs
Like the waves Amof the ocean
Return me to that sFea again
CFirst you're born then you die
Then you smile as you cryG  
But the song is lovely
The melody is fillAmed with fire
Listen closeFly
Lifted higher
CBut all things
GSee all things
AmYeah all things
They must pass
FI say all things
GYeah all things 
CThey won't last, yeahG  
AmWe can go a thousand miles
in the blink of an eyFe
AmWhen our loved ones leave us
we often cryF  
We don't know where we're goingG  
But we know where we've beenAm  
With this love in our hearts
There can be no sinF  
Give it all to the skyG

Seek and hide

Come along for the ride

There'll be many many ups and downs

Like the waves of the ocean

Return me to that sea again

First you're born then you die

Then you smile as you cry

But the song is lovely

The melody is filled with fire

Listen closely

Lifted higher

But all things

See all things

Yeah all things

They must pass

I say all things

Yeah all things

C G

They won't last, yeah

We can go a thousand miles

in the blink of an eye

When our loved ones leave us

we often cry

We don't know where we're going

But we know where we've been

With this love in our hearts

There can be no sin

Give it all to the sky

C C

And rest your mind

The world keeps turnin'

(oooohoooho)

The world keeps turnin'
