Intro: Gº        C2        Gº        C2 
 

Verse One 

Today I watched in silence as people passed me by 
      C2 
And I strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes  
         Am7                Bm7         C2 
But they all looked back at me as if to say  
               Gº       C2 
Life just goes on 

The old familiar story told in different ways 
         C2 
Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave  
    Am7                 Bm7            C2 
and dream your dreams tomorrow because today  
             Gº   D G 
Life must go on.

    G/B     C2           Dsus                  Em7 
But there's more to this life than living and dying 
               C6                Am7     Cmaj7  D  
More than just trying to make it through the    day 
C2           Dsus  D               Em             Bm 
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see 
            Cmaj7                          Gº          C2 
And there's more than this life alone can be

Verse Two 

Tonight he lies in silence staring into space 
    C2 
And looks for ways to make tomorrow better than today 
    Am7            Bm7                C2 
But in the morning light it looks the same 
               Gº        C2 
Life just goes on 

He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work 
    C2 
And every Sunday morning he takes his place at the church 
    Am7              Bm7              C2 
But somehow he still feels a need to search 
               Gº   D G 
Life just goes on

But there's more to this life than living and dying 
               C6                Am7     Cmaj7  D  
More than just trying to make it through the    day 
C2           Dsus  D               Em             Bm 
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see 
            Cmaj7                          Gº 
And there's more than this life alone can be

   Am7                  Bm7        Gº 
So where do we start to find every part 
   F                       C2 
Of what makes this life complete 
   Am7                 Bm7         Gº 
If we turn our eyes to Jesus we'll find 
F                        C2                       Dsus      D2  D 
Life's true beginning is there at the cross where He   died 
   N/C  D G           G/B 
He died   to    bring us 
 

Chorus
