Intro:
Dsus2   Dsus2
Dsus2   Dsus2


Verse 1:
    Dsus2
I remember late one night,
        Asus4
How the star's ancient light,
Dsus2/F#  G6          Asus4         Dsus2
Seemed to reach right down from the sky,
       Dsus2/F#
Wonder finds us where it will,
     Asus4
Stay open and be still,
Dsus2/F#  G6              Asus4         Dsus2
And       trust what's in front of your eyes.

Chorus 1:
Dsus2/F#   G6              Asus4
Tomorrow's sun is bound to rise and set,
Dsus2/F#  G6                  Asus4
On the    promises we haven't broken yet,
Dsus2/F#  G6
We'll  do all of that and more,
            Bm              Dsus2/F#
That's what growing older's for,
          G6                              Asus4
Pick your battles, lose your wars, and forgive what's left.


Verse 2:
    Dsus2
I remember being alone,
          Asus4
Wondering how I'd make it home,
Dsus2/F#  G6             Asus4        Dsus2
Breaking  bottles on the stones in my path,
       Dsus2/F#
It was all so long ago,
        Asus4
All the trouble and the woe,
Dsus2/F#  G6             Asus4     Dsus2
Yet  I'm  still cleaning up broken glass.


Chorus 2:
Dsus2/F#       G6               Asus4
We're all just cosmic dust from outer space,
    Dsus2/F#  G6               Asus4
And we'll  be gone one day without a trace,
    Dsus2/F#  G6
But in      between we may divine,
       Bm          Dsus2/F#
In the fullness of time,
    G6                           Asus4     Asus4
The fine line between a gift and a mistake.


Post-chorus:
Dsus2/F#   Asus4
Dsus2/F# G6  Asus4  Dsus2
Dsus2/F# G6   Dsus2/F#  G6
         Ooh, ooh,      ooh,
     Asus4
Ooh, ooh,
Dsus2/F# G6   Dsus2/F#  G6
         Ooh, ooh,      ooh,
Asus4
Oooh,
Dsus2/F# G6   Dsus2/F#  G6
         Ooh, ooh,      ooh,
Bm    Dsus2/F#   G6   Asus4
Oooh, ooh.


Verse 3:
       Dsus2
I'll remember the saving graces,
          Asus4
And those old Super 8s,
Dsus2/F#  G6         Asus4           Dsus2
Where  we raced like sparks down the sand,
    Dsus2/F#
The bargain life insists upon,
    Asus4
For you and me, we just get one,
Dsus2/F#  G6          Asus4      Dsus2
It's      always been out of our hands.


Chorus 2:
    Dsus2/F#   G6                      Asus4
But after      life's big acts and its interludes,
    Dsus2/F#  G6                     Asus4
Are quiet     mornings of coffee and gratitude,
Dsus2/F#  G6
And   a   coda without words,
        Bm        Dsus2/F#
And the poetry of birds,
        G6                                    Asus4
And the wild and brave and shining hearts you mattered to.
