[Intro] F#m E D x2
            F#m
And there's three 

           E
count them three 

D
Children playing 

       F#m
on the beach
They were eager to learn
      E             D  
To be taught and to teach

          F#m
There's Veronica
She's biting her lip
       E
As she watches the waves 

     D
turn white at the tip

            F#m
And there's Vada
Radiating with joy,
         E
And luckily she still can't 

          D             D  
stand the sight of a boy

                   F#m
And lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind
        E               D
And he's wondering what love is

    F#m          E D
And why it has to  end

    E                  F#m
And he can't understand

    C#m                A
How everyone goes on breathing 

     E/G#      D
when true love ends
MUTE ALL His mother whispers quietly
F#m
Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
          C#m
It's that moment in life 

         A        E     D
when you actually feel alive

   C#m
So live for the moment

    F#m
And take this advice
live by every word
C#m                       A
Love is just a hoax so forget 

   E                   D
anything that you have heard

    C#m                 F#m  E D  D  D  D  
And live for the moment now

            F#m              E
And there's three count them three

D                       F#m
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn
      E             D  
To be taught and to teach

          F#m
There's Veronica
She's licking her lips
       E
As she waits for her real

      D
first passionate kiss

            F#m
And there's Vada
She can't admit her jealousy
       E                   D
Of her sister Veronica and how
she's so pretty (And how
                D  
she's so pretty) 

               F#m
Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock
   E
He ponders his life and 

    D
he skips his rocks

       F#m
And he wonders when his
father will return
E          D
  But he's not coming back 

    E                  F#m
And he can't understand

    C#m                A
How everyone goes on breathing 

     E/G#      D
when true love ends
MUTE ALL His mother whispers quietly
F#m
Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
          C#m
It's that moment in life 

         A        E     D

   C#m

D                       F#m
Children missing on the beach
They were eager to learn
      E             D  
To be taught and to teach

        F#m
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived
                  E
passed the age of fifteen

    D                     F#m
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by
       E             D  
her ex lover their father

    F#m
She didn't even notice
or pay much attention
       E
As the tide came in and swept

her three into the ocean
