Tom: D
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.
D F#m G A
[Verse 3]
D F#m G A D F#m G A
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.
[Verse 4]
D F#m G A D F#m G A
'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.
[Chorus]
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?
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
Yeah I might be scared to death of dying, but I ain't afraid to live
D F#m G A D
I ain't afraid to live
