Life Gets Away

             F          C             G              C
    We're tied to our memories they won't let us stray,
           Em          C          Am          D
    we're not gonna lose ones we made yesterday.
          F          C             G             C
    We look to our future and we make all our plans,
      Em          C          Am         D
    as if we control what is out of our hands.

     G             C            D           G
The world keeps on turning I'm learning to see,
                C           D         G
right where I am is where I have to be.
                     C          D             G
You can't count the pages, all ages hear the call,
           Em            C             D           G
no matter how hard we try life gets away from us all.

         F            C         G         C
    We start getting older the moment we live,
        Em           C              Am           D
    look over your shoulder there's hindsight to give.
           F           C             G           C
    Come good days and bad days the sun's gonna rise,
       Em          C             Am             D
    so why look beyond what's in front of your eyes?
          Em            C              D          G
no matter how hard we try life gets away from us all.
