Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
A       A

Verse:
A           E               A
  We don't want to say goodbye.

D                            A
  We don't want to feel that empty.
E                            A
  But it's time to face the dawn
      E
Head on.

Verse:
A               E                A
  Then there's something in the wind
D                            A
  When the days go getting shorter
E                               A
  And the nights run cold and clear
      E
Down here.

Chorus:
D                             A
  We'll take each new day to give
D                         A
  what we need to do our part
D                             A
  While were learning how to live
E                         A
  With a lifelong broken heart.

Verse:
A         E             A
  And we never will forget.
D                        A
  It's a privilege to remember.
E                         A
  The sound of days gone past
      E
will last.


Verse:
A         E               A
  We can see you in the stars
D                             A
  Come some vivid night in November
E                                   A
 And with the last few leaves that fall,
   E
Recall

Chorus:
D                            A
  Surely, each new day will give
D                         A
  What we need to do our part
D                          A
  To keep learning how to live
E                         A
  With a lifelong broken heart.

Bridge:
Bm         C#m
    Oh, you beautiful one,
D                 E
    So clearly a gift.
Bm              C#m
    Life had designs of its own
D                 E
    To set you adrift.

Verse:
A        E                 A
  So go lightly where you must,
D                       A
  Travel soft upon new wings.
E                     A
  You will never be alone.
   E
Go on.

Verse:
A          E            A
  When we cannot understand,
D                          A
  When we cannot find new meaning,
E                              A
  We'll seek out the ones you loved
     E
And love.

Chorus:
D                         A
  Taking each new day to give
D                         A
  What we need to do our part.
D                             A
  We'll keep learning how to live
E                         A
  With a lifelong broken heart.

D                             A
  We're just learning how to live
E                          A
  With a lifelong broken heart
