La la la la

   A  A5 Asus2 A
La la la la la

Em        G6          Asus4 A
La la la, la la la la la

A             Asus4        A              Asus4
I think it's sad and your friend, he does too

          Em        G                    A
That the love of a lifetime escaped someone like you

      A         Asus4        A         Asus4
Your beautiful house is so empty with loss

          Em    G      A
And it's heavy as a teardrop

  Bm7 E        A          D
But oh, was it beautiful when

Bm7         E            A             D
You were a child and the world had no end?

        Bm7          E           A              D Dsus2 D5
And the stars were an ocean that bathed you in light

E        A          Dadd2
Now you ponder your view

E        A               Dadd2
And you think 'what's become of you?'

E        A         Dadd2
All this love you never show

E        A               D
All this love, it don't know

    A              Asus4         A          Asus4
But I know there's beauty that's yet to be won if you

Em          G              A
Only have faith enough to hold on

     A            Asus4         A          Asus4
It's pure and magnificent, it's simple and true

         Em      G                A
And it's there, there with your name on

   Bm7 E        A          D
And oh, was it beautiful when

Bm7         E            A             D
She held your hand and the world had no end?

    Bm7          E             A              D Dsus2 D5
And you saw the children you'd have in her eyes

E          A           Dadd2
While the hills are asleep

E          A           Dadd2
While the sky sighs in sympathy

E         A      Dadd2
You stay up all through the night

E          A            D
Watch the clock write a symphony

   Am7 Am Am7 Am
Of life

   Am7 Am Am7 D
Of life,

          A
Love and hope

    A        Asus4       A              Asus4
And now a confession, I wrote this for you

       Em           G            A
But I guess that it speaks of my own life too

  Bm7 E            A        D
'Cause oh, it was beautiful when

Bm7     E              A           D
I was a child and the world had no end

        Bm7          E             A            D Dsus2 D5
And the stars were a blanket that bathed me in light

E           A     Dadd2
I guess I'm doing ok

E           A              Dadd2
Hey Ma, at least I'm not a criminal

E        A            Dadd2
Still I think of what could have been

E           A            D
I think of what's yet to come

           Dmaj7
What's to come?

          D9 Dmaj7 A
What's to come?
