Tom: Am
Am
Do you think the stars know,
G
That they’re seen from so far down below?
Am
Or when the warm wind blows,
G
Does it tell the grass to grow?
[Verse 2]
Am
Why do you think the birds sing?
G
Do they think that someone’s listening?
Am
Or do they sing,
G
To try and chase away the snow?
[Verse 3]
Am
And if the stars hid from the night,
G
Do you think that someone would realize?
Am
The light had died,
G
Or would they even know?
[Verse 4]
Am
And if a silence filled the air,
G
Do you think that anyone would even care?
Am
Would they be aware,
G
Of the mounting snow?
[Chorus 1]
Am F G
We never notice all the green around us until the season’s passed.
Am F G
We never long for the world to slow down until it goes too fast,
Am F G
If everything plays a grander part in a fate we’ll never meet,
Am F G
Is my destiny to fade away, have a goal I’ll never reach?
Am F G
Am I incomplete?
Am F G
Am I incomplete?
[Verse 5]
Am
Do you wonder if the snow knows,
G
It leaves behind a world with room to grow,
Am
Or when the sun dips low,
G
It gives the moon a chance to glow.
[Verse 6]
Am
Do you wonder why the sky cries,
G
Through its tears it brings forth greener life,
Am
Or when it cries,
G
Does it even know?
[Chorus 2]
Am F G
We never listen for the songs around us until the sound is still.
Am F G
We never see what our life is worth, and perhaps we never will...
Am F G
If everything plays a grander part in a fate we’ll never meet,
Am F G
Is my destiny to fade away, have a goal I’ll never reach?
Am F G
Am I incomplete?
Am F G Am F G Am F G
[Bridge]
Am F G
And though the sky still cries, and the flowers die,
G
The sun can’t shine if the rains don’t pass by,
Am F G
Flowers die but still they find new life.
Am F
And though I may not shine as bright as the stars.
G
I refuse to let my fate be set by my scars.
Am F G
I’ll carry on, and I’ll do it just for me.
Am
I’ll be complete.
[Chorus 1]
Am F G
We never notice all the green around us until the season’s passed.
Am F G
We never long for the world to slow down until it goes too fast,
Am F G
If everything plays a grander part in a fate I’ll never meet,
Am F G
Is my destiny to fade away, have a goal I’ll never reach?
[Chorus 3]
Am F G
We never listen for the songs around us until the sound is still.
Am F G
We never see what our life is worth, and perhaps we never will...
Am F G
If everything plays a grander part in a fate we’ll never meet,
Am F G
I will not let my days slip away, I will rise up on two feet.
Am G
And I’ll be complete.
Am
