Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D][Dm][A][D]

[Verse 1]
When you're standing on [G]the side
of a hill
[Faug]Feeling like you didn't be [B]done
[F#]Here it comes, [G#]strawberry sponge
[Bb]Chasing away [A]the sun

[Verse 2]
[D]Don't let those pre[G]cious
moments fool you
[A]Happi[Faug]ness is getting you dow[B]n
A [F#]rainbow never [G#]smiles or blinks
It's [Bb]just a candy colored frown
[A]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
You were going on at [A]half-past seven
seven
[Dm]Now it's going on a quar[A]ter 'til nine
[Gm]All the angels w[Dm]ant to know
[Gm]Are you lost o[A]r treading w[Dm]ater?
And you're going on
your [A]fifteenth bender
[Dm]But you've only got [D]a ma[A]tter of time
[Gm]Yes we've all got [Dm]seeds to sow
Not [Gm]everyone's got [A]lambs to slaughter

[Verse 4]
[Bm]When the night wind [G]starts to turn
In[Bm]to the ocean b[G]reeze
[Bm]And the dew drops [G]sting and burn
Like [Bm]angry honey [G]bees
[D]That is when you [G]hear the song [A]fall
[Edim]ing from the sky[F#][Bm][A][Bm]
[G]Happy yester[D]day to all
[A]We were born [D]to die[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]Sometimes you're [G]filled with the notion
The [A]afterlife's a [Faug]moment away[B]
You [F#]want to tell someone
the [G#]way that you feel
But [Bb]then you ain't got nothing [A]to say
[D]You fight for [G]freedom from devotion
A [A]battle that will [Faug]always be[B]gin
With [F#]somebody giving you a
[G#]piece of ad[Bb]vice;
By the way you're living in sin
[A]

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
Now there's never [A]gon
na' be an intermission
[Dm]But there'll always be a[A] closing night
[Gm]Never enter[Dm]tain those visions
[Gm]Lest you may have [A]packed
your [Faug]bag gag[A]es
[Dm]First impressions are chea[A]p ambitions
[Dm]Sometimes are long[A] goodbyes
[Gm]Truth so often [Dm]to living dormant
[Gm]Good luck walks and [A]bullshit flies

[Verse 7]
[Bm]When the headlights [G]guide your way
You [Bm]know the place is [G]right
[Bm]When the treetops [G]sing and sway
Don't [Bm]go to sleep toni[G]ght
[D]That is when you [G]see the sign
[Edim]Luminous [Bm]and high:
[G]Tomorrow's not what it [D]used to be
[A]We were born to [D]die[A][D][G][Edim][Bm]
[G]Happy yester[D]day to all
[A]We were born to die
[D][A]
