[Intro] G  Bm  G  Em
        C  G  Em  D
        C  Am  D

G                                Bm
    When I was young and full of wonder
G                    Em7
    The universe was tender
        C                        G
    Every dream I had would come true
    D                  Em7  
    Music was my worldview
                       D
    Hearts fell at my feet
          C
    Each breath was so sweet
    Am            D
    Life was complete
G                   Bm
    Now the past is over
G                        Em7
    I was cut down much too soon
            C             G
    I can’t speak, I can’t play
                                    Em7
    But this flesh has much more to say
                D
    I wave good-bye
        C
    To yesterday’s highs
    Am              D 
    Life has other plans
G               Bm
    Love and confusion
G                 Em7 
    Peace and destruction
    C                       G
    What is the point of it all?
                     D      Em7
    Why must we all feel small
                        D
    Our hearts are not toys
                  C
    We just want real joy
    Am             D
    Life’s just a dream
E
    You ask me this question
    Due to my unfortunate fate
    How can you carry on
                     D
    Without feeling hate
    G                        C        G
    Love brings light to the darkness inside
                          Am     B        E
    Love’s the voice that sings: Hold on!
