Change, like the wind, like the water, like skin

Change, like the sky, like the leaves, like a butterfly
[Chorus]

Would you live forever and never die?

While everything around passes?

Would you smile forever and never cry?
B/F# A/E E
While everything you know passes?
[Verse 2]

Death, like a door to a place we've never been before
E A/E B/F# A/E E
Death, like space, the deep sea, a suitcase
[Chorus]

Would you stare forever at the sun
B/F# A/E E
Never watch the moon rising?
E A/E
Would you walk forever in the light
B/F# A/E E
To never learn the secrets of the quiet night?

When I watch you holding her the way you once held me?
