D F#m G A D F#m G A


[Verse 1]

     D                F#m               G              A                   D   F#m G A
Everybody's got their dreams, some just wake up before theirs has told the truth
       D                      F#m          G               A                      D   F#m G A
Others chase them 'round like children but grow old before theirs has shown their youth.
        G                         A                               D   F#m G A
Yeah, nobody's got forever, but a dream can make forever feel too soon
               G                       A                        D F#m G A
It'll make you scared to death of dying, too scared to even move.


[Verse 2]

            D            F#m            G               A            D  F#m G A
I ain't got songs on the radio, and I'm not sure I'd be happier if I did
         D               F#m               G             A               D F#m G A
But I'll sit and sing a song for you, I'll make whatever people want to give
      G                               A                                   D F#m G A
and I watch folks around me trembling at the fault they can't seem to forgive
                 G                      A                           D F#m G A
Yeah I might be scared to death of dying, but I ain't afraid to live.


[Chorus]

           F#m                                G                             D F#m G A
Oh setting sun, if you're coming back this way, could you bring me back tomorrow?
           F#m                                G                             D F#m G A
Oh setting sun, if you're coming back this way, could you bring me back tomorrow?
             G                                  A                                   D F#m G A
Oh 'cause I ain't got much to promise, but I'll give you all that I know how to give
                G                       A                            D F#m G A
Yeah I might be scared to death of dying, but I ain't afraid to live.

Well my path don't need a battlefield, the road I walk is dangerous as it is
            D            F#m            G               A            D  F#m G A
They put his name there on the wall memorial that he and I would skate along as kids
              G                               A                                  D F#m G A
and this here General he might call me up and call me son, but I ain't one of his.
                G                       A                            D F#m G A
Yeah I might be scared to death of dying, but I ain't afraid to live.

'Cause I'd rather miss my home than miss what might be my one chance to run
            D            F#m            G               A            D  F#m G A
Along the lessons of my father to watch the setting of his only sun
            G                        G      A                                    D F#m G A
It might be tough to look around the day, but he'll go gentle when the evening comes
                G                       A                           D F#m G A
Yeah I might be scared to death of dying, but I ain't afraid to run.

Oh setting sun, if you're coming back this way, won't you bring me back tomorrow?
           F#m                                G                             D F#m G A
Oh setting sun, if you're coming back this way, won't you bring me back tomorrow?
         G                                   A                              D F#m G A
'Cause I ain't got much to promise, but I'll give you all I know how to give
                G                      A                             D F#m G A
