        C  Am  D 

G                                Bm 
    When I was young and full of wonder 
G                    Em7 
    The universe was tender 
        C                        G 
    Every dream I had would come true 
    D                  Em7   
    Music was my worldview 
                       D 
    Hearts fell at my feet 
          C 
    Each breath was so sweet 
    Am            D 
    Life was complete 
G                   Bm 
    Now the past is over 
G                        Em7 
    I was cut down much too soon 
            C             G 
    I can't speak, I can't play 
                                    Em7 
    But this flesh has much more to say 
                D 
    I wave good-bye 
        C 
    To yesterday's highs 
    Am              D  
    Life has other plans 
G               Bm 
    Love and confusion 
G                 Em7  
    Peace and destruction 
    C                       G 
    What is the point of it all? 
                     D      Em7 
    Why must we all feel small 
                        D 
    Our hearts are not toys 
                  C 
    We just want real joy 
    Am             D 
    Life's just a dream 
E 
    You ask me this question 
    Due to my unfortunate fate 
    How can you carry on 
                     D 
    Without feeling hate 
    G                        C        G 
    Love brings light to the darkness inside 
                          Am     B        E 
    Love's the voice that sings: Hold on!
