Em7               D6                D
My hands, they stand empty dear
   Em7              D6         D
My lips, spread to whisper clear
         C
Oh, the words
            Em7          D6
Change is inevitable my young love
            C
And as the past moves on
         Em7       D
Dear it never goes

[Verse 2]
   Em7           D6       D
So take up your pencil here
     Em7           D6          D
And write out the words you fear
             C
But oh, my love
                Em7                  D6
Oh just take a little more time, my young love
    C                   Em7          D
And oh, my dear, please be responsible

[Chorus]
   Em7
As we move forward
D6            C
With an open heart
Em7
We look backward
D                  C
Searching for the start
      N.C             C                  Em7 D6 D
The start, so we can piece this together

[Verse 3]
    Em7              D6
Oh hope, hope is an echo now
     Em7             D6                 D
That lasts until the ending sounds
         C
Out so loud
          Em7            D
Until we give our last breaths out
         C
And we close our eyes
             D
To a waking dawn

{bridge]
    Em7              D6             D
And here, here I'll always be
    Em7             D6      D
And dear, when you cry for me
        C                           Em7                D
Just recall, oh my love, you're the only one I love
           C
And as the days move on
                  D
Dear, they never go

[Chorus]
   Em7
As we move forward
D6      D      C
With an open heart
Em7
We look backward
D                  C
Searching for the start
Em            D                      C
All of us are in this life together
Em            D       D6       C
All of us are in this thing forever

[Chorus]
   Em
As we move forward
D       D6   C
With an open heart
Em
We look backward
D         D6       C
Searching for the start
Em7           D6             C
All of us are in this life together
Em            D               C
All of us are in this thing forever

[Outro]
Em7           D6             C
All of us are in this life together
Em            D               C
All of us are in this thing forever
