Bmin              D/G
It's not what you'll possess
F#min          D
It's how you will express
         C
The essence of you

Bmin            D/G
It's not the wage you earn
 F#min           D
It's about the things you learn
           C
And the love that you feel

Bmin              D/G
It's not what you'll conceal
F#min             D
It's all that you'll reveal
           C
That will make you be you
         Em9
The perfection of you


 C                    D
Now the shadows are long
                     E         Eadd9
And the cities are lost to rain
          G             Am
When you wake up every day
                    D
To find nothing's changed
 C                   D
But before you can speak
                          E          Eadd9
You will learn that it's all the same
           G                  Am
And the dreams that you will have
            D
Are public domain
 C                D
And the country lanes are dead
           E
With the time to come


 Bm              D/G
It's not the years you pass
 F#min             D
It's about the moments that last
      C
Forever in you

[Chorus]
C                    D
Now the shadows are long
                    E        Eadd9
And the cities are lost to rain
          G            Am
When you wake up every day
                     D
To find nothing's changed
 C                   D
But before you can speak
                          E        Eadd9
You will learn that it's all the same
          G                    Am
And the dreams that you will have
              D
Are public domain

C                      D
Now the time that has gone
                    E    Eadd9
Doesn't matter to anyone
            G               Am
When the country lanes are dead
                      D
With the time yet to come
C                   D
Now the world is exhausted
                     E       Eadd9
And the wreckage is all around
         G
But the arc of your life
 Am               D
Will still be profound

C        D     E      Eadd9
Don't be afraid to die
     G       Am         D
Don't be afraid to be alive
C        D     E      Eadd9
Don't be afraid to die
     G       Am         D
Don't be afraid to be alive
