Intro: D- x2


Intro:
      F#m
And there's three
      E
count them three
D
Children playing
    F#m
on the beach
They were eager to learn
   D--
To be taught and to teach


Verse 1:
     F#m
There's Veronica
She's biting her lip
    E
As she watches the waves
   D
turn white at the tip
      F#m
And there's Vada
Radiating with joy,
     E
And luckily she still can't
     D--
stand the sight of a boy
          F#m
And lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind
    D
And he's wondering what love is
  D
And why it has to end


Chorus 1:
  F#m
And he can't understand
  A
How everyone goes on breathing
   D
when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly
F#m
Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
     C#m
It's that moment in life
     D
when you actually feel alive
  C#m
So live for the moment
  F#m
And take this advice
live by every word
A
Love is just a hoax so forget
  D
anything that you have heard
  D--
And live for the moment now


Post Chorus:
      E
And there's three count them three
F#m
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn
   D--
To be taught and to teach


Verse 2:
     F#m
There's Veronica
She's licking her lips
    E
As she waits for her real
   D
first passionate kiss
      F#m
And there's Vada
She can't admit her jealousy
    D
Of her sister Veronica and how
she's so pretty (And how
        D--
she's so pretty)
        F#m
Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock
  E
He ponders his life and
  D
he skips his rocks
    F#m
And he wonders when his
father will return
D
 But he's not coming back


Chorus 2:
  F#m
And he can't understand
  A
How everyone goes on breathing
   D
when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly
F#m
Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
     C#m
It's that moment in life
     D
when you actually feel alive
  C#m
So live for the moment
  F#m
And take this advice
live by every word
A
Love is just a hoax so forget
  C#m
anything that you have heard


Interlude: D-- x2
forget everything


      E
And there's three count them three
F#m
Children missing on the beach
They were eager to learn
   D--
To be taught and to teach


Verse 3:
    F#m
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived
         E
passed the age of fifteen
  F#m
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by
    D--
her ex-lover their father
  F#m
She didn't even notice
or pay much attention
    E
As the tide came in and swept
  D
her three into the ocean
  F#m
Now all her advice
  D--
it seems useless


Chorus 3:
  F#m
No, Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
     C#m
It's that moment in life
     D
when you actually feel alive
  C#m
So live for the moment
  F#m
And take this advice
live by every word
    A
Love's completely real so forget
  D
anything that you have heard
  F#m(hold)
