Bm Em G A

[Verse 1]

Bm
What will remain of us
F#m
In a billion years
Bm
When the sun explodes
     Em                 G/A
And there are no more fears
Bm
When we are dust in space
F#m
Who will remember then
Bm
And all the things we've done
    Em                 G/A
And all the selfless men

[Bridge]

G
Just a split second are we
Bm                   G
In the interplay of life and death
F#m
The interplay of life and death

[Chorus]

Bm      Em                G
Just a split second are we
        A        Bm
In the memory of astro-planes
  Em           G
A glimpse of eternity
  A
A grain
Bm      Em                G
Just a split second are we
        A           Bm
In the interplay of life and death
   Em         G
A glimpse of eternity
  A
A breath

[Verse 2]

Bm
What will remain of us
F#m
In a billion years
Bm
When the cosmos overthrows
         Em                  G/A
Is there laughter, are there tears?
Bm
Will there be a new life
F#m
That finds our trace somewhere
Bm
And asks who we have been
     Em             G/A
Will someone really care

[Bridge]
G
Just a split second are we
Bm                   G
In the interplay of life and death
F#m
The interplay of life and death

[Chorus]

Bm      Em                G
Just a split second are we
        A         Bm
In the memory of astro-planes
   Em         G
A glimpse of eternity
   A
A grain
Bm      Em                G
Just a split second are we
        A           Bm
In the interplay of life and death
   Em         G
A glimpse of eternity
   A
A breath

[Instrumental]

Bm  Em   G            A
    The interplay of life and death

[Instrumental]

Bm Em G A

[Verse 3]
Bm
What will remain of us
Em
In a future so far
Bm
Will it be lost
      Em            G/A
Everything that we are
Bm
What is the sense of it
Em
When we leave no trace?
Bm
Is there a masterplan
  Em                   G/A
Behind the depths of space?

[Instrumental]

Bm Em Bm Em G/A

[Outro]

Bm  Em   G            A             Bm
    The interplay of life and death
