Intro :  [ Gsus1 (2 bars)   Csus1 (2 bars) ]   -- 2x

   Gsus1
Today I watched in silence as people passed me by, 
      Csus1         
And I strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes; 
         Am                 Bmsus       Csus
But they all looked back at me as if to say 
               Gsus  Csus
Life just goes on. 
  

    Gsus1     
The old familiar story told in different ways, 
         Csus1
Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave; 
Am                  Bmsus             Csus
Dream your dreams tomorrow because today 
             Gsus1   Dsus  Gsus
Life must go on.  
  
CHORUS: 
            Csus         Dsus                 Emsus
But there?s more to this life than living and dying, 
               Csus              C/Emsus     D            
More than just trying to make it through the day; 
Csus         Dsus                  Emsus          D
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see, 
            Csus                          Gsus   Csus(to v3,4)
And there?s more than this life alone can be. 
  
Tonight he lies in silence staring into space, 

And looks for ways to make tomorrow better than today, 

But in the morning light it looks the same; 

Life just goes on. 
  
He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work, 

And every Sunday morning he takes his place at the church; 

And somehow he still feels a need to search, 

But life just goes on. 
  
(chorus) 
   Am                   Bmsus
So where do we start to find every part 
   F                       Csus
Of what makes this life complete; 
   Am                   Bmsus
If we turn our eyes to Jesus we?ll find 
F                        Csus                     D
Life?s true beginning is there at the cross where He died. 
        Emsus Csus  Dsus
He died to    bring us . . .
