Intro: Ab5  Ab5  Bb5  Eb5 x2

Ab5  Ab5  Bb5          Eb5
A windy day, the cars in slow formation
Ab5  Ab5  Bb5       Eb5
Not far away, a final destination
Eb5          F5
One mother's son
Bb5                   Eb5
His father's distant gaze, regretting
Eb5              F5
Where they went wrong
Bb5                 Eb5
He always found it too upsetting

Ab5      Ab5  
Me and my friend
Bb5           Eb5
We lived our lives completely
Ab5        Ab5  
From start to end
Bb5           Eb5
You and your friend, so sweetly
Eb5                 F5
With strength and pride
    Bb5          Eb5
In spite of everything, and swimming
Eb5          F5
Against the tide
      Bb5       Eb5
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#5      F5        Bb5   Eb5
To wipe away the tears
F#5      F5       Bb5
No more pain, no fear
                        F5
No sorrow or dying, no waiting or crying
Bb5          C#5              Eb5
These former things have passed away
         Eb5          Ab5  Ab5  Bb5  Eb5  Ab5
Another life begins today
