G                 C
  Can't reach the moon now

G                C
  Can't turn the tide

G                  Am
  The world looked different

     C                D7
When God was on your side

G                C
  Who builds the future?

G            C
  Do they care why?

G               Am
  I know you're tired of tryin'

C              D7                 C
Listen clearly, you don't have to try

     D7        G                  C
Capricorn, the year that you were born

Am          D7           G               C
   Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours

Am             D7               G              C
   Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone

Am                 D7                            G
   Sifting through centuries for moments of your own

G           C
  Alone and wounded

G          C
  But in my prime

G              Am
  I called the hospital

     C               D7
They didn't have the time

G             C
  I'd seen it comin'

G            C
  It's no surprise

G               Am
  I know you're tired of tryin'

C              D7                 C
Listen clearly, you don't have to try

     D7        G                  C
Capricorn, the year that you were born

Am          D7           G               C
   Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours

Am             D7               G              C
   Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone

Am                 D7                            G
   Sifting through centuries for moments of your own

G           C
  A hundred dollars

G             C
  On someone's dime

G              Am
  I looked for answers there

     C               D7
They weren't mine to find

G               C
  Good days are comin'

G             C
  Not just to die

G               Am
  I know you're tired of tryin'

C           D7                 C
Listen baby, you don't have to try

     D7        G                  C
Capricorn, the year that you were born

Am          D7           G               C
   Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours

Am             D7               G              C
   Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone

Am                 D7                            G
   Sifting through centuries for moments of your own

C      D7        G                  C   
  Capricorn, the year that you were born

Am          D7           G               C    
   Finished fast and the next one wasn't yours

Am             D7               G              C   
   Too old for dyin' young, too young to live alone

Am                 D7                            G
   Sifting through centuries for moments of your own
