[F] [G]
[F] [G] There are times when you can beckon.
[F] There are times [C] when you must call.
[G] You can take a lot of reckoning, [D] but you [F] can't take it all.
[G] There are times when [C] I can't help you [F] out, and times that [C] you must follow.
[G] There are times when you must live in [F] doubt, and I [G] can't help at all.
Three blue stars [C] rise [F] on the hill.
Say [G] no more, now [F] just be still.
All [G] these trials [C] soon [F] get past.
Look [G] for something [Dm] built to last.
[G] A wind held [C] by the cobbler, [F] yes a cloud [C] held by the breeze.
[G] You can walk on [Am] cold fire, [Dm] but sometimes [F] you must freeze.
[G] There are times when [C] you walk at me, [F] and I do [C] the same to you.
[G] If we can't or [A] won't forget it, [F] I guess we [G] could be through.
[F] One [G] blue star [C] sets [F] on the hill, and comes [G] in fact you [F] never will.
One [G] more star [C] sinks [F] in the past, and shows [G] you something [Dm] built to last.
[F] Built to [C] last till time [G] itself falls, something from the wall.
[C] Built to [G] last till sunshine [F] fails, and darkness moves on.
Built to [C] last while years roll [G] past, like clouds gazing [Am] in the sky.
[F] Show me something built to [D] last, something built to try.
[Bb] [G] [C]
[F] [C] [G] [Am]
[Dm] [F] [G] [C]
[F] [C] [G] [Am]
[Bb] [G] Sometimes when [C] you get hit or fall, [F] try hard but you [C] cannot give.
[G] Other [Am] times you gladly [Dm] part with what you [F] need to live.
[G] Don't waste your [C] breath to save your [F] face when you have [C] done your best.
[G] And even [Am] more exhausted you, [F] fate will [G] decide the rest.
All the stars [C] are gone [F] but one.
Morning [G] breaks, here [F] comes the sun.
Across [G] the sky, [C] now sinking [F] fast.
Show [G] me something [Dm] built to last.
Three [G] blue stars [C] rise [F] on the hill, say [G] no more, now [F] just be still.
All [G] these trials [C] soon will [F] be past, look [G] for something [Dm] built to last.
[C] One [G] blue star [C] sets [F] on the hill, come [G] get back you [F] never will.
One [G] more star [C] sinks [F] in the past, show [G] me something [Dm] built to last.
All [G] the stars [C] are gone but [F] one.
Morning [G] breaks, here [F] comes the sun.
Across [G] the sky, [C] now sinking [F] fast.
Show me [G] something [Dm] built to last.
