[E] [A] [D]
[E] [A] Oh, precious life, [D] how you love to [A] lie to me, so recklessly fragile, [D] so beyond my power
to see, and yet so demanding, by making [F#m] me believe [A] that I am standing [D] in the way of my
own reprieve, that [E] all are [F#m] days, a number, [D] no [E] matter [F#m] the amount.
[D] There's a first, [E] and then a last, [A] there is finally [F#m] the fact that [D] the [E] numerals just [F#m] don't
count, [D] and [E] all our time [F#m] is borrowed, [D] no [E] deposit, no [F#m] return, [D] and no [E] promise of [A] tomorrow [F#m] or the
next day, [D] what was meant you [E] can never [A] earn.
If I took care of you, [D] and loved you [A] all your days, I'd still have to let you go,
[D] cause nothing ever [A] stays, you taught me to stand, and then you left that [F#m] job to me, [A] now as a man,
[D] I'm finally forced to see, that all [E] are [F#m] days, a number, [D] no matter [E] the [F#m] amount.

meant you [E] can never [F#m] earn.
