Gmaj7    G6  
 A windy day

Am7          D 
 The cars in slow formation

Gmaj7     G6
 Not far away

Am7      D 
 A final destination

Dm6           E
 One mother's son

    Am7              D
His father's distant gaze, regretting

Dm6              E
 Where they went wrong

   Am7             D
He always found it too upsetting

Gmaj7      G6  
 Me and my friend

Am7           D 
 We lived our lives completely

Gmaj7          G6  
 From start to end

Am7           D 
 You and your friend, so sweetly

Dm6                E
 With strength and pride

    Am          D
In spite of everything, and swimming

Dm6          E
 Against the tide

   Am          D
To obstinately hope of winning

Gmaj7       G6  
 And at the end

Am7         D 
 Your funny uncle staring

Gmaj7        G6  
 At all your friends

Am7       D 
 With military bearing

Dm6             E
 And stopped to stand

   Am7                D
To smile and speak of you directly

Dm6             E
 Goodbye, shake hands

     Am7          D
Like you did everything correctly

F6        E       Am7   D
 To wipe away the tears

F6       E        Am
 No more pain, no fear

   F/A
No sorrow or dying

Am6  E
  No waiting or crying

Am            C/G                 D/F#
 These former things have passed away

         D          | Gmaj7 G6 | Am7 D | G
Another life begins today
