Intro: C   G/B   Am - F - C


Verse 1:
C
I come in to tuck her in
G/B                               
I'm so tired from where I've been
Am           F           C 
Doing all I can to stay awake
C
As she goes on about her day
  G/B
I hang on every word she says
    Am              F                 C
She reaches out and puts her hand in mine


Pre-chorus:
       G
For a moment
Am             F
We are here together
       G            Am                 F
And it hits me that this won't last forever


Chorus:
C
We can't own it
G/B                            Am    F
We just get to hold it for a while 
      C
This life
C               
We can't keep it
   G/B                  Am    F
Or save it for another time
      C
This life


Verse 2:
C
He was always there for me
G/B
Now he's fighting just to breathe
  Am              F        C
I tell him it's ok to let go
C
As I look into his eyes
  G/B
I know that this won't be the last time
Am                 F                 C
But for now, we're taking different roads


Pre-chorus:
       G
For a moment
Am             F

And it hits me that this won't last forever


Chorus:
C
We can't own it

This life
C

So we don't have to be afraid

Of what is waiting on the other side
         C    
Of this life
