Tom: Em

Intro: E  E  Am  Am   G  G  Am  B7

Verse:
E                                       Em
Don?t you see? It wasn?t meant to be
(Em)             E7
Keep on till you die 
     Am
When lying down
            B7
We kick the crying clown
         Am
And there?s never a thought
        B7
Of how he lifts a frown

Chorus(1):
G                D
The longer you love
A                E
The longer you live
G                D
The stronger you feel
A                 E
The more you can give
G                 D
It's dying like sand, 
A            E
sand in a sieve
G             D           A       B7
Where is the time to remain?

Verse: 
E                                       Em
Well don?t forget The day you ever met
(Em)         E7
Trying to believe
          Am
It wasn?t wasted time
            B7 
You sipping gin and wry
           Am
You had to walk away
               B7
It haunts you every day

Chorus(2):
G                D
The longer you love
A               E
The longer you live
G                D
The stronger you feel
A                 E
The more you can give
G          D
Floating away, 
A            E
day in the rain
G              D           A       B7       
The lady you love can?t sustain

We?re dying like sand,

Where is the time to remain?
