[ verse 1 ]
Am F C G
the sun must set to rise ,
Am F C G
the light will leave your eyes again ,
F C
then breaking like morning’s dawn ,
F G
does summer feel the winter come .

[ verse 2 ]
the hardest part of life ,
is to live while you’re alive my friend ,
so sing an unwritten song ,
or repent for the deeds you left undone .

[ chorus ]
C
this is here ,
Am
this is now ,
F
it’s the moment that we live for ,
C G
and we just can’t live without ,
C Am
it’s all clear to me now ,
F
we’ve already started dying ,
C G
and our time is running out ,
F G
ooh oh ooh ,
F G C
ooh oh ooh , right now .

[ verse 3 ]
time is ours to steal ,
she’s a secret to reveal my friend ,
and when your children have all grown ,
you’ll wait by the window ,
and wish them all back home .

[ chorus ]

[ bridge ]
C F G
walk a little further off the beaten path ,
C F G
and we’ll drive on even if we get there last ,
C F G
our backs against the wall , and we will lunge and bite ,
C F G
and we’ll rage , rage , rage against the dying of the light ,

[ chorus ] ( x2 )
