C/G             F      G
It was only one hour ago
F                       G
It was all so different then
C/G                     F           G
There?s nothing yet has really sunk in
              F      G
Looks like it always did
     C/G   F   G
This flesh and bone
              F                       G
It's just the way that you would tied in
            C/G  F   G
Now there's no...one home

F C/G        G
I grieve for you
F   C/G   G
You leave me
                     Am       G
It?s so hard to move on
                    Am        G
Still loving what's gone
                      Am      G
They say life carries on
               Am             G
Carries on and on and on and on

C/G - Amadd9/G - G

F                   G             C/G   F     G
The news that truly shocks is the empty empty page
          F            G         C/G   F     G
While the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage
F                  G
And I can't handle this
 
F C/G        G
I grieve for you
F   C/G   G
You leave me
                    Am       G
Let it out and move on
               Am       G
Missing what's gone
                      Am      G
They say life carries on
                      Am             G
They say life carries on and on and on

Am

Am
Life carries on
Am
In the people I meet
Am
In everyone that's out on the street
Am
In all the dogs and cats
Am
In the flies and rats
Am
In the rot and the rust
Am
In the ashes and the dust
Am                                G
Life carries on and on and on and on
             Am            G
Life carries on and on and on

                          Am
It's just the car that we ride in 
  F         C/G  G
A home we reside in 
                 Am
The face that we hide in 
    F          C/G  G
The way we are tied in 
                 Am                   G
And life carries on and on and on and on 
             Am            G
Life carries on and on and on 

G fade to C/G

C/G              F  G
Did I dream this belief?
       F              G
Or did I believe this dream?
    C/G        F  G
Now I can find relief 
F Am7
I grieve
