i told them all the ones i love
F# / A#m G#m
i'm leaving and i may not return
F# / A#m /
see lately i've been overcome
F# / A#m G#m
the feeling i fear has just begun
B F#
the pain i feel deep inside
B F#
that haunts us all that we will die
B F# C# / / /
never really knowing how it feels
F# B C# A#m
to be alive
F# B C# A#m
F# / A#m /
through mountains and over seas
F# A#m G#m
through misery and disease
F# / A#m /
a spectator i played my part
F# / A#m G#m
but nothing could move this heart
B F#
until i held the boy's hand
B F#
the little one spoke like a man
B
he showed me death and said
F# C# / / /
this is how you know you're alive
F# B C# A#m
F# B C# A#m
alive
F# / A#m G#m /
a kingfisher in flight
B / F# /
you'll rise above this sea of doubts
B / F# / (last beat silent on "yah")
into a world full of clouds - yah
