Verse 1:

G+G        C/GC/G      D/AD/A C/GC/G  G+G
Change, like the wind, like the water, like skin

Change, like the sky, like the leaves, like a butterfly

G+G                  C/GC/G
Would you live forever and never die?
   D/AD/A    C/GC/G     G+G
While everything around passes?
G+G                  C/GC/G
Would you smile forever and never cry?
   D/AD/A      C/GC/G    G+G
While everything you know passes?

Verse 2:

G+G       C/GC/G    D/AD/A  C/GC/G     G+G
Death, like a door to a place we've never been before
G+G      C/GC/G    D/AD/A   C/GC/G   G+G
Death, like space, the deep sea, a suitcase

Chorus:

G+G                C/GC/G
Would you stare forever at the sun
D/AD/A       C/GC/G   G+G
Never watch the moon rising?
G+G                 C/GC/G
Would you walk forever in the light
D/AD/A        C/GC/G      G+G
To never learn the secrets of the quiet night?

G+G       C/GC/G      D/AD/A C/GC/G  G+G
Still, like a stone, like a hill, like home
G+G       C/GC/G
Still, what I find
      D/AD/A  C/GC/G  G+G
Is you were always on my mind

Chorus:

G+G           C/GC/G
Could I feel happy for you
    D/AD/A        C/GC/G     G+G
When I hear you talk with her like we used to?
G+G           C/GC/G
Could I set everything free
    D/AD/A        C/GC/G       G+G
When I watch you holding her the way you once held me?

Would you live forever and never die
   D/AD/A    C/GC/G     G+G
While everything around passes?
