                  BEFORE WE DISAPPEAR
                     CHRIS CORNELL
CAPO: 3rd FRET
INTRO:
Em  C  G  G     Em  C  G  Bm D
VERSE:
G                           C
  Time ain’t nothing if it ain’t fast
       Am     F         C        G
Taking everything that you ever had
     G             C
And giving nothing in return
       Am   F           C     G
But a cold bed in the quiet earth
PRE-CHORUS:
     Bm                D
But there's a door to every cell
   Em              A
A pearl inside of every shell then
CHORUS:
Em      C          G
   How hard can it be
     D                  Em
To share your life with me?
     C          G
How hard can it be
    D                 Em
To rise with me each morning
   C            G
I know that it feels like
 B            C           G
We'll live forever but I fear
      C                  G    G
That time will hide the years
VERSE:
 G                    C
Life ain’t nothing if it ain’t hard
       Am       F   C         G
It’ll show you who you truly are
 G                      Am      C
Knock you down when you get too tall
         Am      F         C    G
Till you spun around in a free fall
PRE-CHORUS:
     Bm                  D
But somewhere out there past the storm
 Em              A
Lies the shelter of your heart
CHORUS:
Em        C          G
  So how hard can it be
     D                  Em
To share your life with me?
     C          G
How hard can it be
    D                 Em
To rise with me each morning
   C            G
I know that it feels like
B             C           G
We'll live forever but I fear
      C                  G
That time will hide the years
     C              G
Like we were never here
    Am  G   C          D
So hold on tightly my dear
BREAK:
Am         C               G
  I'm not one to waste my time
Em Am            C        G
      Searching for some silver lining
Am               C                  Em   G
  But somewhere out there past the storm
           A
Lies the shelter
B        Em
Of your heart
CHORUS:
Em      C          G
So how hard can it be (how hard)
     D                  Em
To share your life with me?
     C          G
How hard can it be
    D                 Em
To rise with me each morning
   C            G
I know that it feels like
B              C
We will live forever
       G
But I fear
 C                 G
Time can hide the years
     C              G
Like we were never here
    Am  Em  C          D
So hold on tightly my dear
