Intro: G Bm G Em C G Em D C Am D G Bm When I was young and full of wonder G Em7 The universe was tender C G Every dream I had would come true D Em7 Music was my worldview D Hearts fell at my feet C Each breath was so sweet Am D Life was complete G Bm Now the past is over G Em7 I was cut down much too soon C G I can't speak, I can't play Em7 But this flesh has much more to say D I wave good-bye C To yesterday's highs Am D Life has other plans G Bm Love and confusion G Em7 Peace and destruction C G What is the point of it all? D Em7 Why must we all feel small D Our hearts are not toys C We just want real joy Am D Life's just a dream E You ask me this question Due to my unfortunate fate How can you carry on D Without feeling hate G C G Love brings light to the darkness inside Am B E Love's the voice that sings: Hold on!
