Intro:
F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD x2
F# minorF#m
And there's three
E MajorE
count them three
D MajorD
Children playing
F# minorF#m
on the beach
They were eager to learn
E MajorE D MajorD
To be taught and to teach
F# minorF#m
There's Veronica
She's biting her lip
E MajorE
As she watches the waves
D MajorD
turn white at the tip
F# minorF#m
And there's Vada
Radiating with joy,
E MajorE
And luckily she still can't
D MajorD D MajorD
stand the sight of a boy
F# minorF#m
And lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind
E MajorE D MajorD
And he's wondering what love is
F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD
And why it has to end
E MajorE F# minorF#m
And he can't understand
D MajorD A augmentedA
How everyone goes on breathing
E/G# D MajorD
when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly
F# minorF#m
Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
C# minorC#m
It's that moment in life
A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
when you actually feel alive
C# minorC#m
So live for the moment
F# minorF#m
And take this advice
live by every word
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Love is just a hoax so forget
E MajorE D MajorD
anything that you have heard
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD D MajorD
And live for the moment now
F# minorF#m E MajorE
And there's three count them three
D MajorD F# minorF#m
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn
E MajorE D MajorD
To be taught and to teach
F# minorF#m
There's Veronica
She's licking her lips
E MajorE
As she waits for her real
D MajorD
first passionate kiss
F# minorF#m
And there's Vada
She can't admit her jealousy
E MajorE D MajorD
Of her sister Veronica and how
she's so pretty (And how
D MajorD
she's so pretty)
F# minorF#m
Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock
E MajorE
He ponders his life and
D MajorD
he skips his rocks
F# minorF#m
And he wonders when his
father will return
E MajorE D MajorD
But he's not coming back
E MajorE F# minorF#m
And he can't understand
D MajorD A augmentedA
How everyone goes on breathing
E/G# D MajorD
when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly
F# minorF#m
Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
C# minorC#m
It's that moment in life
A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
when you actually feel alive
C# minorC#m
So live for the moment
F# minorF#m
And take this advice
live by every word
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Love is just a hoax so forget
E MajorE D MajorD C# minorC#m
anything that you have heard
F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD x2
(On second time around)
forget everything
F# minorF#m E MajorE
And there's three count them three
D MajorD F# minorF#m
Children missing on the beach
They were eager to learn
E MajorE D MajorD
To be taught and to teach
F# minorF#m
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived
E MajorE
passed the age of fifteen
D MajorD F# minorF#m
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by
E MajorE D MajorD
her ex lover their father
F# minorF#m
She didn't even notice
or pay much attention
E MajorE
As the tide came in and swept
D MajorD
her three into the ocean
F# minorF#m
Now all her advice
E MajorE D MajorD
it seems useless
F# minorF#m
No, Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
C# minorC#m
It's that moment in life
A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
when you actually feel alive
C# minorC#m
So live for the moment
F# minorF#m
And take this advice
live by every word
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Love's completely real so forget
E MajorE D MajorD
anything that you have heard
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
