Intro: Ab7M  Ab6  Bbm  Eb x2

Ab7M  Ab6  Bbm          Eb
A windy day, the cars in slow formation
Ab7M  Ab6  Bbm       Eb
Not far away, a final destination
Eb6          F
One mother's son
Bbm                   Eb
His father's distant gaze, regretting
Eb6              F
Where they went wrong
Bbm                 Eb
He always found it too upsetting

Ab7M      Ab6  
Me and my friend
Bbm           Eb
We lived our lives completely
Ab7M        Ab6  
From start to end
Bbm           Eb
You and your friend, so sweetly
Eb6                 F
With strength and pride
    Bbm          Eb
In spite of everything, and swimming
Eb6          F
Against the tide
      Bbm       Eb
To obstinately hope of winning

And at the end
Your funny uncle staring
At all your friends
With military bearing
And stopped to stand
To smile and speak of you directly
Goodbye, shake hands
Like you did everything correctly

F#6      F        Bbm   Eb
To wipe away the tears
F#6      F       Bbm
No more pain, no fear
                        F
No sorrow or dying, no waiting or crying
Bbm          C#/Ab              Eb/G
These former things have passed away
         Eb          Ab7M  Ab6  Bbm  Eb  Ab
Another life begins today
