I believe now we're going to do the _ song [Gb]
I recorded [Ab] with Mike and the [Db] Mechanics.
[Eb] _ Maybe I shouldn't play [Ab] this on it though.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sounds great with a choir singing so if you feel inclined, if you've had enough to [Bm] drink,
[Db] maybe you can sing the chorus with us.
[Eb] _ [Ab] This is called The Living Years. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Every generation [Db] blames the one before
_ And _ [Ab] all of their frustration _ _ competing [Db] _ on your door
_ I [Ab] _ [Gb] know that I'm a prisoner to all my father else's [Fm] ordeals
[Bbm] I know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and [Ab] fears
Wish [Db] I could have [Eb] told it in the [Ab] living _ years
_ _ _ _ Crumble bits of paper _ _ _ _ filled with imperfect goals
_ Steal the conversation
_ _ I'm _ afraid that's all we've got
_ [Gb] They just don't see it, that it's perfect [Bbm] sense
You just can't get agreement in this present tense
[Ab] We all talk a different [Eb] language, _ _ [Ab] talking _ independent
_ _ _ Say it loud, _ _ _ _ say [Db] it clear
_ _ You [Bbm] can't listen and _ _ [Eb] well [Ab] as you hear
_ _ _ It's too late, _ it's too late
_ [Db] _
Too late when we die
_ [Bbm] _
_ _ We [Db] don't see [Ab] eyes to eyes
_ _ _ So we open up a quarrel _ between [Db] the present and the past
_ We [Ab] only sacrifice the future _ _ [Db] if the bitterness lasts
_ _ _ _ [Gb]
Don't give to the fortune, sometimes see it's fate
[Bbm] May have a new perspective on a different day
If you don't give [Eb] up and don't give in, [F] you may just [Ab] be okay
Count me now
Say it loud, _ _ _ say [Db] it _ clear
_ _ You [Bbm] can't listen and [Ab] _ [Bbm] well [Ab] as you hear
_ _ _ It's too late, _ _ it's too late
_ [Db] _
Too late when we die
_ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ We [Db] don't see [Ab] eyes to eyes
_ _ _ _ _ I wasn't there that morning
_ When _ my father passed away
_ I _ didn't get to tell him
All the [Db] things [Ab] I had to [Db] say
[Gb] But I think I caught his [Db] spirit later that same year
[Bbm]
Sure I heard my echo in his baby's newborn tears
[Eb]
Wish I [Abm] could have told [Eb] him _ in the [Ab] living years _ _ _ _ _
Say it loud, _ _ say _ [Db]
it clear

_ _ Because it's too late, oh _ it's too late
[Db] _
Too late when we die
_ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ [Eb] We don't see eyes [Ab] to eyes
