Intro: Am7 Am/F# Am/F E7
-Verse-
Am7 Am/F#
There is only so much juice
Am/F E7
You can suck out of a fruit
Am7 Am/F#
And the colour changes fast
Am/F E7
When an apple's cut in half
Am7 Am/F#
Every ladder ends somewhere
Am/F E7
Better time it's steps with care
Am7 Am/F#
Don't be the one who waits to long
Am/F E7
Turns around and finds it gone
Choose the life you want to live
Give the love you want to give
Take the moment when it comes
Let it lead you, let it run
Feel the moisture in the air
Feel her fingers through your hair
Don't be shy when asking to
Be that way you were always meant to
Am/F - E
-Chorus-
Am7
You say that life is long
Am/F#
But you took the words
Am/F E
Out of my mind
E7 Am7
Life is long and the world is small
Am/F# Am/F
Our paths will cross some other time
E
-Verse2-
Same Chords as Before
Given shelter, blessed by rain
To our common unknown aim
Through the north side of the town
To the south where we lay down
Under floodlights but no stars
Without people without cars
Where i ask you without sound
Will you answer without words?
Do the move that's written down
When you close your eyes you find
You can prophesise the steps
You can visualise the maps
If you act upon it when
There's no trace of doubt within
When your heart is freshly stung
You cannot fail, you cannot act wrong
-Chorus-
Am7
You say that life is long
Am/F#
But you took the words
Am/F E
Out of my mind
E7 Am7
Life is long and the world is small
Am/F# Am/F
Our paths will cross some other time
E
Am7
