intro G / G * ( hammer on B – string )

G G * G
this life keeps moving on
G * G *
gone away before too long
D
so tell your friends just how you feel
G G *
you’d better say it loud for the world to hear

G G * G
’cause it’s getting late , it’s time to go
G G *
the paper moon is fading slow
D
but the night , it keeps moving on
G G *
’til it takes you in; it brings you home

G C
while you’re watching over the moments that make up your life

G G *
it’s getting late that’s the way it is
G * G *
you cant deny when it feels like this
D
and it’s strange whats it’s bringing out
G G *
you’re gonna open up , ’cause you cant stop now
