[Intro]
G Am D G
[Verse 1]
G Am
The city will still be moving in the morning
D G
A million lives all breathing like a tide
Am
Each one a story beyond our comprehending
D G
Each trying to make a life and feel alive
[Verse 2]
G Am
The trees will bloom down along the river
D G
The kids will race the fountains in the light
Am
Someone will cry and pray that it gets better
D G B7
Someone will stop and try to change a life
[Chorus]
Em C
The sun will rise like it always does
D
On the day that I die
G Am
The world will spin, the sun will go on burning
D G
Never even knowing I was alive
[Guitar Solo]
G Am D G Am D G
[Verse 3]
G Am
There’s a treasure we all know but we can’t have it
D G
It’s a place beyond the measure of our minds
Am
It is where we go when we forget we’re living
D G
It is where we go when we forget we die
[Verse 4]
G Am
And all the tools we use to feel important
D G
They are useless as a sailboat in the sky
Am
Where old bones and heartaches are forgotten
D G B7
It’s a place we don’t have words to describe
[Out-Chorus]
Em C
The sun will rise like it always does
D
On the day that I die
G Am
The world will spin, the sun will go on burning
D G
Never even knowing I was alive
