   Some moments that I've had

   Some moments of pleasure


Ab     Db/F      Gb     Db/F

Ab                 Db/F
   I think about us lying

Gb              Ab
Lying on a beach somewhere

                Dbadd9
I think about us diving

Gb              Db/F            Ab        
Diving off a rock, into another moment


Db/Ab      Gb      Db/F


Ab             Db/F         Gb
    The case of George the Wipe

   Db/F                   Ab
Oh God I can't stop laughing

             Db/F          Gb
This sense of humour of mine

Db/F                   Ab      Db/F
It isn't funny at all

          Gb         
Oh but we sit up all night

Db/F             Absus4
Talking about it



Ab               Fb
   Just being alive

Gb              Absus4    Ab
   It can really hurt

              Fb 
These moments given

Gb                 Ab      Db/F      Gb      Db/F
   Are a gift from time


Ab                Db/Ab
   On a balcony in New York

Gb/Ab           Db/Ab
      It's just started to snow

Ab                   Db/Ab
  He meets us at the lift

     Gbm      
Like Douglas Fairbanks

Db/F               Ab        
    Waving his walking stick

Db/F                     Gb      Db
    But he isn't well at all

    Gb       Db/F        
The buildings of New York

Ab7sus4           Db/F                 Gb
     Look just like mountains through the snow



N.C.             Fb       
     Just being alive

Gb             Absus4    Ab
   It can really hurt

               Fb
These moments given

Gb                Ab   
   Are a gift from time

N.C.             Db/F

Gb                       Ab
    To give these moments back

             Fb
To those we love

Gb                    Ab      Db/Ab      Gb/Ab      Db/F
To those who will survive



Ab                  Db/F           
   And I can hear my mother saying

Gb    Db/F           Ab                 Db/F         
     "Every old sock meets an old shoe"

Gb                            Db/F     Ab      Db/F      Gb
   Ain't that a great saying?

"Every old sock meets an old shoe"

Gb               Db/F
