The [Am] day you're born they sign a [F] piece of paper
[C] That will certify the [Bb] date [G] of your birth
[B] [E] And the [Am] day [Gm] you die they [F] sign another
[E] Just to [Am] prove [D] you've gone [Em] back [C] to earth
[G] And [Am] between [Gm] those two pieces [F] of paper
There [C] is the truth [Am] that is so [G] hard to find
[C] And a story [Gm] of your [F] life is written
But [Am] you must read in [Em] between the [C]
lines
Now when you're young you [Gm] think [F] it don't matter
[Cm] If you [Am] leave [Gb] before [G] you learn
[C] But those old folks are [Gm] [F] wiser and sadder
[C] From the chances that they could
Now [Gm] when your chance [C] comes along [F] you must take it
[Ab] Just be [C] careful and take [G] your time
[C] And the [A] chances [Gm] are good [F] you will make it
If [Am] you can read in [G] between [C] the lines
[F] And when someone tells you they love you
[C] And no one has ever loved you more
[Gm] [F] It is wise to stop and consider
[E] How [D] many times they might have said that [G] before
[C] Because when love leaves [F] you crying
Then [C] you will surely lose [G] your mind
[C] And you might have known [F] love was lying
