[N] [F] Shine on, brighter than the sun
Live for every moment, [Bb] before the [C] moment's gone
We shine on, [Bb] you and [F] me tonight
Way across the universe, [Gm] burning like a fire [F] in the night
I was looking at a photograph, taken in a garden [Dm] long before the war
[Bb] And out on the lawn, there were [F] old men and [Am] dogs and little [Dm] children
All of [Gm] them gone, [F] forever
[C]
[F] And there were people by [Am] the water's side, [F] standing in the same place where I am [Gm] today
And nothing has [Bbm] changed, but you know
[F] That time is moving like a river
[Dm] It can only [Gm] be love, [F]
[C] forever

Shine on, brighter than the sun
Live for every moment, [Gm] before the moment's [C] gone
We [F] shine on, you and me tonight
Way across the universe, [Gm] burning like a [C] fire in [F]

[Bb]

[F] the night
There are those who [C] can never cross the [F] space between a [Dm] father and a [Gm] son
When they are [Bbm] young, [F] say all the words that should be [Dm] spoken
For they are [Gm] lost,
[F] [C] forever
And [F] I was looking at a [Am] photograph, [F] taken from a window [Dm]
way above the [Gm] water
And we've got to [Bbm] learn, we must [F] leave here a garden for our children
[Dm] When we are [Gm] gone, [F]
[C] forever
