[Verse]

Seize the day

Em7

That was what you always told me

Dm7

Find a way

G7sus4 G

You would say as you would hold me

Get away from here

Em7

It's all so clear

Dm7 Gsus4 G

You can't stay

Long ago

Em7

We were old enough to love

But not to know

There were dreams we kept inside

But didn't show and now

We don't know how to let go

As long as we're still standing on

Dm G C G7

This road that leads Nowhere

[Verse]

Touch the sky

Em7

If you don't, when you grow old

Dm7

You'll wonder why

G7sus4 G

You did just what you were told

No one will cry for you

Em7/B

If all you do

Dm7 Gsus4 G

Is long to fly

I can see

Em7/B

Our final curtain falling

Dm7

Let it be

G7sus4 G

Listen to the voices calling out

To all who hear

Em7/B

Don't let your fear

Dm7 Gsus4 G

Push life aside

[Chorus]
