Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

You were gone when we found you

You were practically surrounded, you were trapped

But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold

When they saw the look of love in your eyes

Pre-chorus

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad

And everything else was part of the plan

We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"

This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end

And we all just idolize the dead

Chorus

So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day

Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame

But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream

And nothing and no one will ever take that away.

Verse

You had a love, when that love had you

And nothing mattered, you were fine

And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame

When they know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all

Pre-chorus

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad

And everything else was part of our path

We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"

This is the anthem (Hey!), the slogan (Hey!), the summary of events

And we all just idealize the past.

Chorus

So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day

Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame

But somewhere in the between, was a life of which we all dream

And nothing and no one will ever take that away.

PRE-CHOURUS:

Yeah the times we had, they were not that bad

And everything else, that was part of the plan

And we sang, "I don't know where we go from here"

This is the Alpha (Alpha!), Omega (Omega!), beginning and the end!

And we all just idolize the dead.

Chorus

So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day

Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame

But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream

And nothing and no one will ever take that away.

Outro

Well someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end

But we can't just get in line again.
