Slaid Cleaves


Tom: C

INTRO: C   G   Am  F  C/G  C/E

                  G 
Fall down on your knees
                           Am 
It's whispered through the trees
                 F          C
No one's come to save you


                    G 
Let fade the little lies
                Am 
The sentimental cries
                   F         C
Behold what nature gave you


CHORUS:
         G 
All you see
      Am             F       C
Every love and every dream
     G 
Temporary
       Am                       F       C
As the morning dew will turn to steam


                G 
Battered by the years
                        Am 
We'll quit this vale of tears
                       F      C
And leave the world to turn


                      G 
The voice of midnight comes
                  Am 
And spoken on its tongue
                  F       C
Man's infinite concern


CHORUS:
         G 
All you see
      Am            F       C
Every joy and every sting
     G 
Temporary
       Am                      F    
As the blooming of the rose in spring


INSTRUMENTAL: C   G   Am   F   C   G   Am   F   C


                       G 
Live well and learn to die
                        Am 
Soon in the dust you'll lie
                    F      C
With everything you know


                     G 
Cruel death will not spare
                       Am 
The wise, the young or fair
                         F     C
Let us drain this cup of woe


CHORUS:
         G 
All you see
      Am              F        C
Every thing and every friend
     G 
Temporary
  Am                           F     C
A love you thought would never end


CHORUS:
      G 
Every love 
      Am              F             C
Every dream and every joy and every sting
     G 
Temporary
    Am                        F 
The lullaby your mother would sing
