Intro: G    C   Dsus2
       
              G
Well, life is short
                            C     ~ Dsus2
But the days and nights are long
              G
And time will heal all these wounds some day soon
                        C         Em  Dsus2
I'll be rising, I'll be strong
            C      Cadd9  D       Em
But now I'm losing all my battles
        C        Cadd9    Dsus2
Now I'm down and dropping still
         G
And this snow's blowing through like some ghost
                          C    Em  Cadd9  Dsus2
With this blue I know too well
       G
Broken hearts 
                         C    ~ Dsus2
Keep on beating just the same
     G 
So I guess I can too, go through these moves
                           C        Em  Dsus2
Facing forward, walking straight
           C            Cadd9    D         Em
But now my glance keeps drifting downward
       C          Cadd9      Dsus2
Now my feet can't find their way
         G
And this cold's creeping in through my bones
                         C    Em  Dsus2  G 
Whispering, it's here to stay
Instrumental: G    C   D  G      C   D  
             G
I'll bide my time
                       C    ~ Dsus2
Like there's any other way
             G 
It moves too slow, moves too fast, it's gone and past
                       C      Em  Dsus2
And stopped entirely today
               C        Cadd9   Dsus2   Em
I know there's light on some horizon
            C      Cadd9 Dsus2
But I can't see so far  ahead
             G
Patience and grace, blessed is love, I'm loosing my faith
                                     C    Em
In most of that stuff those wise men said
             G           D        C    Em  Dsus2
Most of that stuff those wise men said
Outro:
        G
Life is short
                            C
But the days and nights are long
