[Verse 1]
[Em]Time[D] passed [C]hard
[Em]And the task was t[D]he hardest
[C]thing she'd ever do
[D]But [C]she forgot
[Em]The moment she s[D]aw y[C]ou

[Verse 2]
[Em]So it would seem to be[D] true[C]
When [Em]cruel birth de[D]bases, [C]we forget
When [Em]cruel death [D]debases
[C]We believe it era[Em]ses all the[D] rest
That precedes
[C]

[Verse 3]
[Em]But stand brave, life-[D] liver[C]
[Em]Bleeding out your days
[D]In [C]the river of tim[Em]e[E]
[D]Stand [C]brave[D]
[Em]Time moves[D] both ways[C]

[Verse 4]
In the [Em]nullifying, [D]defeating,
[C]negating, repeating
[Em]Joy [D]of l[C]ife
The nul[Em]lifying, [D]defeating,
[C]negating, repeating
[Em]Joy [D]of lif[C]e

[Verse 5]
The [D]moment of your greatest joy [C]sustains
Not [Em]axe nor [D]hammer
Tumor, tremor
[C]Can take it away, and it remains
[Em]It r[D]emai[C]ns[Em][Bm][D][C]

[Verse 6]
And [Em]it p[D]ains me to say,[C]
I was [Em]wrong[Bm][C]
[Em]Love is not [D]a sympt[C]om of time
[Em]Time is just [D]a symptom of l[C]ove

[Verse 7]
And all [Em]the nullifying, [D]def[C]eating,
negating, repeating
[Em]Joy of [D]lif[C]e
The [Em]nul [D]lifying, defeating,
[C]neg[Em]ating, repeating
[D]Joy of [C]life

[Verse 8]
Hardly seen, hardly [Em]felt (ahh)
Deep down where your [D]fight is waiting
[C]Down till the light in your eyes is fading
[Em]Joy [D]of life[C]
[Em]Where I know that you can
yield, when it [D]comes down to it
[C]Bow like the field when the
wind combs [Em]through it
[D]Joy of [C]life
And [Em]every little gust that [D]chances through
Will [C]dance in the dust of [Em]me and you
With [Bm]joy of [D]lif[C]e (joy)
And [Em]in our perfect s[D]ecret-
keeping (ahh)
[C]One ear of corn
In [Em]si le[Bm]nt, re[D]ap[C]ing
Joy [Em]of life
Joy Again, [D]around, a

[Verse 9]
[C]
pause, a sound, a song
[Em]A way a lo[D]ne a l[Em]ast[C]
a loved a [Em]long (joy)
A cave, [D]a grave, a [C]day, arise,
ascend
Areion, Rharian, go free [Em]an
[D]d g[C]raze (joy)
Amen
[Em]A

[Verse 10]
shore, a [D]tide, unmoored,
[C]a sight, abroad
A [Em]dawn, [D]unmarked, [Em]un done,
[C]undarked, a god (joy)
No time, no flock, [D]no chime,
no [C]clock, no end
[D]White star, [Em]white ship, Nightjar,
[D]transmit, [C]transcend (joy)

[Verse 11]
White star, white [C]ship, Nightjar, [D]transmit,
tran[C]scend (we go down)
White star, white ship, Night[Am]jar,
[C]transmit, transcend
White star, white ship, Nightjar, transmit, trans-
