Life gets away

  F C G C
1. We're tied to our memories they won't let us stray,
  Em C Am D
 we're not gonna lose ones we made yesterday.
  F C G C
 We look to our future and we make all our plans,
 Em C Am D
 as if we control what is out of our hands.
 
 G C D G
The world keeps on turning I'm learning to see,
  C D G
right where I am is where I have to be.
 C D  G
You can't count the pages, all ages hear the call,
  Em C D G
no matter how hard we try life gets away from us all.

2. We start getting older the moment we live,
 Em C Am D
 look over your shoulder there's hindsight to give.
 F C  G C
 Come good days and bad days the sun's gonna rise,
 Em C Am D
 so why look beyond what's in front of your eyes?
 Em C D G
+ CHORUS + no matter how hard we try life gets away from us all.
 
+ G – C – D – G - Em – C – D – G F – C - G
