Verse:
Am C
Indigo, roses in spring
D F
The air was heavy as the thunder did sing
Am C
I take a plunge in the old-time dark
D F
Pulled her on in and put her in park
Am C
There’s a heightened sense of possibility
D F
When you don’t know shit and you’re young and you’re green
Am C
Turbulent twinge, it won’t ease
D
And I’m in with you only in my dreams
Chorus:
F C G Dm
Oh let these days be your delight, captured in rhythm and rhyme
F C G
Watch these drawn lines trace your life’s most scintillating times
F C G Dm
Falling, flying, up and down, lit up like a diamond hiding in the rough
F C G
Succeed or fail it’s all the same, it’s only life
Am C
And life is enough
D F Am C D F
So whatever, it’s life and life only

Taught me how to enter with a big big hit

Fading away oh from your view

Oh let these days be your delight, captured in rhythm and rhyme

Watch these drawn lines trace your life’s most scintillating times

Succeed or fail it’s all the same, it’s only life, and life is enough

So whatever, it’s life and life only

Pushing up through, kimberlite blue

Underground root, to a turbulent flow

Sunlight diamonds water there at the concrete’s end

Sharp edges, looking out for you

Succeed or fail it’s all the same, in the end life is enough
