Meaning-meaningless chords by Ron Pope

This is the riff that plays during the intro, and the break between the chorus and verse 2 (for this
break, just play the first line).
Listen out to the song for timing, but it's basically just on the offbeat.

Intro

D A Bm G
D A Bm G

Verse 1

        D               A
In the sweet embrace of twilight
        Bm                  G
Just before the night time came
         D               A
All her children in the front yard
           Bm              G
There was laughter on the breeze
        D                 A
Then a call came from her father
        Bm                  G
In his house halfway 'cross town
         D                 A
He said "Love, I hate to tell you,
          G                 D           D
But your mother, she's gone now."

Chorus

     A           Bm        D        G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
    A            Bm      D       G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?


D A Bm G


Verse 2

        D               A
So she tries to tell her husband
        Bm              G
But she cannnot make a sound
        D                     A
And he hears through all the silence
      Bm                G
So before she hits the ground
         D              A
He says "Baby, are you with me?"
        Bm            G
And she opens up her eyes
         D               A
And she says "I lost my mother,"
        G                D
And a piece of her heart dies

Chorus

   A             Bm        D        G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
    A            Bm      D       G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
   A             Bm        D        G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
    A            Bm      D       G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
        Bm      D           G           G
I am trapped and wondering why ...


Bridge

D A Bm G x 4
G

Verse 3

         D               A
Now it's late and she is restless
        Bm                  G
All her girls are tucked in bed
        D               A
She is searching for a meaning
         Bm                 G
When all words feel meaningless
        D                A
And the hardest part of losing
        Bm           G
Is the memory of the win
        D               A
And the hardest part of letting go
            G              D
Is when you know you never can
          D                A
Yeah, the hardest part of letting go
            G              D        D
Is when you know you never can

Chorus

   A             Bm        D        G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
    A            Bm      D       G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
   A             Bm        D        G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
    A            Bm      D       G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
        Bm      D           G
I am trapped and wondering why ...
        Bm      D         G       G
Moving quickly before our eyes

D A Bm G x2
D
