Verse 1: 0:15
Am
  We told our tales as we sat
       Am         Em:G
Under morning's sleepy
Am     Em:G | Am Em:G
   Sky,
0:30

  With all the colours of the sunrise
  Am    Em:G
Shining in our
Am   Em:G | Am Em:G
Eyes.

  One, then another, with a

Lives,

Gone in a moment of
   Am  Em:G | Am Em:G
Strife.

Verse 2: 1:30
Am                    Em:G   Am
  No thought of sleep ever dwells
          Em : G
Upon the wise man's
 Am  Em:G | Am Em:G
Mind,
1:45
Am                 Em : G
  Some task or audience
  Am                  Em: G
Stealing every moment of his
 Am  Em:G | Am Em:G
Time.

F
  Thus we have learned to live
       F                F: Em : G
While mortal men stand waiting to
 Am Em:G | Am Em:G
Die.
2:14
F
  How can we do what must be
F          F : Em :  G
  Done in just one short

   Life?

  And if you ask then you must know,
                                   F
If you still doubt, you should be told
                            G#
It was not we that made it so,
            G#
It was by those who went
   Am  Em:G | Am Em:G
Before.

Chorus: 2:51
Am                      Em:G      Am
  And there you sit, tomorrow's child,
                     Em :G   Am
So full of love, so full of life,
                      Em :  G  Am
But you must rise to meet the day
                  Em:G   Am
Lest you become another tale.

So full of love, so full of life,

Lest you become another tale.
