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.
