Intro

strum

or play fill instead of C

if you want the fill its

play it instead of D and C

And there's three, count 'em-three

Children playing on the beach.

They were eager to learn,

To be taught, and to teach

There's Veronica;

She's biting her lip

As she watches the waves turn white at the tip.

And there's Vada;

Radiating with joy,

And luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy.

And lastly there's Dade;

His hair dances in the wind,

And he's wondering what love is,

And why it has to end.

And he can't understand

 How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends.

His mother whispers quietly;

Heaven's not a place that you go when you die.

 It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive

So live for the moment.

And take this advice, live by every word,

Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard

And live for the moment now.

or play the fill in place of D and C

And there's three, count 'em-three

Children growing on the beach.

They were eager to learn,

 To be taught, and to teach

There's Veronica;

She's licking her lips

As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss.

And there's Vada;

She can't admit her jealousy

Of her sister Veronica, and how she's so pretty.(and how she's so pretty)

And lastly there's Dade;

Still sitting on the dock,

Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks.

And he wonders when his father will return,

But he's not coming back.

And he can't understand

 How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends.

His mother whispers quietly;

Heaven's not a place that you go when you die,

 It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive,

So live for the moment.

And take this advice, live by every word,

Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard.

And there's three, count 'em-three

Children missing from the beach.

They were eager to learn,

To be taught, and to teach.

But the sad thing

Is that they never lived passed the age of fifteen

 Due to neglect from their mother

Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father.

And she didn't even notice, or pay much attention

As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean.

Now all her advice, it seems useless.

No, heaven's not a place that you go when you die.

It's that moment in life when you touch your edge and feel alive.

So live for the moment.

And take this advice, live by every word,

Love's completely real,

So forget anything that you may have heard,

And live for the moment now.
