Tom: G G Wisdom is good, it puts eyes in your head Em But it's foolish to think it'll save you from death D Both the fool and the wise man are numbering their breaths C G And in the end, all this wisdom is just meaningless [Verse 2] G Pleasure is nice, the taste and touch Em But with all your indulgence, you can't get enough D You can chase every pleasure around every bend C G But in the end all this chasin' is just chasin' wind [Chorus] Em D C Em D C Ooo--oh all is vanity, ooo--oh all is vanity Em D C D You feel eternity and it's beating in your chest Em D C So you know in your soul it's not all meaningless [*Verse 3 not on original recording*] G Workin is good, Money keeps you fed Em But you can’t take it with you When you are dead D When all that you made Will all turn to rust C G In the end it won’t matter When you turn to dust [Verse 4] G Beauty is sweet to the beholder's eye Em And you know it when you see it 'cause it echoes the Light D But age and opinion bid beauty goodbye C G And in the end the beholder just changes his mind [Chorus] Em D C Em D C Ooo--oh all is vanity, ooo--oh all is vanity Em D C D You feel eternity and it's beating in your chest Em D C So you know in your soul it's not all meaningless [Bridge] Em D C D If there is restlessness, could there be rest? Em D C D If there is hunger, could there be fullness? Em D C D If there is restlessness, there must be rest Em D C D If there is hunger, there must be fullness! [Interlude] G [Outro] Em D C D You feel eternity and it's beating in your chest Em D C So you know in your soul it's not all meaningless
