Standard (EADGBE)
Verse
You were gone when we found you
You were practically surrounded, you were trapped
But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold
When they saw the look of love in your eyes
Pre-chorus
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of the plan
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
And we all just idolize the dead
Chorus
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away.

Verse
You had a love, when that love had you
And nothing mattered, you were fine
And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame
When they know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all
Pre-chorus
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of our path
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the anthem (Hey!), the slogan (Hey!), the summary of events
And we all just idealize the past.
Chorus
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between, was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away.

PRE-CHOURUS:
Yeah the times we had, they were not that bad
And everything else, that was part of the plan
And we sang, "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the Alpha (Alpha!), Omega (Omega!), beginning and the end!
And we all just idolize the dead.
Chorus
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away.
Outro
Well someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end
But we can't just get in line again.
