[Verse]

A/D      G
Brighter still
A/D                     G
You're burning brighter still
A/D                     G
You think you'll never die
A/D              G
But one day you will
F          G                 Dm
Still from now times on the side

A/D         G
All things pass
A/D            G
Beauty must decay
A/D         G
Hearts and wars
A/D                G
All are fought in vain
F         G                Dm
He might hold your hands until you're tired

[Bridge]

F        G               Em
When they ask you you'll say
                 A
You're stopping time

[Chorus]

           Em7          G
But it's impossible, impossible
    D                         A
As bright as the flames must die
           Em7          G
Oh it's impossible, impossible
   D                A
No reason or answer why
      Em7
Oh it flickers and fades
         G
And the light doesn't shade it
D                A
Everything must change, oh
Em7
Some things last forever
G                   D
Some things slip away

[Verse]

A/D         G
Streets and towns
A/D                   G
Streets and towns and seas
A/D                 G
All the things you know
A/D              G
These have never been
F              G             Dm
So that's the sadness in the everything

[Bridge]

F            G               Em
There'll be one when all the rest
      A
Fall away

[Chorus]

           Em7          G
And it's impossible, impossible
D                     A
Some things cannot be done
           Em7          G
Oh it's impossible, impossible
D                     A
Sometimes you have to run
    Em7
You twist and you turn
         G
And you live and you learn and
D            A
Ever another day
Em7
Some things last forever
G                            D
Some things slip away, slip away
