Tom: Dm
F A7
One day you'll look up at the ceiling above
Dm G7
If you're lucky you'll be surrounded by the ones that you love
Bb C F D7
When the lights in your eyes fade and life flashes by
Bb C F
One day you're going to die
F A7
One day you’ll sleep and you'll never wake again
Dm G7
Heaven, hell, nirvana, nothing, no one knows how it ends
Bb C F D7
Rest in peace or pieces and won't even know why
Bb C F
One day you're going to die
[Verse 2]
Cm F Cm F
Read your horoscopes, your palms and tarot cards
Bb
Either way your destination ain't very far
Cm F Cm F
You could drown, or choke, or burn, or be hit by a car
G C7
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but something will eventually
[Verse 3]
F A7
One day you'll look back at the life that you lead
Dm G7
No more future left to fear that you'll have the past to regret
Bb C F D7
But your worries will be over if you truly realize
Bb C F
One day you’re going to die
N.C.
Take it away, hands
[Interlude]
F A7 Dm G7
Bb C F D7
Bb C F
[Verse 4]
Cm F Cm F
In the fabric of time, and in the vastness of space
Bb
A billion amounts to nothing in infinity’s face
Cm F Cm F
At most a couple generations will remember the ways
G C7 D
In which your life never mattered, so who cares if it's a waste?
[Verse 5]
G B
Well, one day you’ll be not even a faint memory
Em A7
No, at most a ghost of falling leaves from your family tree
C D G E7
The legacy's not yours to see, nor is your eulogy
C D G
And you'll never know what it all means
[Outro]
C D G E7
But you'll be at peace before you sleep if you just keep this in mind
C D G E7
That everything and everyone goes with the passage of time
C D G E7
So whether it’s cancer, murder, or suicide
C D G
One day you're going to die
E7
No need to fear cause when it's
C D G
Here you won't be alive
E7
Try not to think about it
C D G
One day you're going to die
E7
And there's probably nothing after
C D G
One day you're going to die
E7 C D G E7
So if you only have one chance you ought to try your best to live as you like
C D G
One day you're going to die
