Life, is for the living
.............................C....................G/B
I thought you wanted to see how it could be

When you're in shape and your head plugs in to life
Bm7.............Em7...........Ebmaj7.........Cm7
Situps and pushups a-do take energy

The flame of love we had has finally died
Fmaj7................F6..................Cm/F....Bbmaj7
Can't take this emptiness it left inside
.......Am7.........D7.....................Gm7....................Bbm6

It's over now, it's over now
Bb..............................F#maj7...........Fmaj7....F6....Fmaj7....F6
Shades of blue and purple haunt me
Fmaj7...............F6.........................Cm/F
The noise outside my window carries on
Fmaj7.............F6......................Cm/F....Bbmaj7
Like distant bugles love is very gone
.......Am7.......D7..............Gm7..................Bbm6
It's over now, it took a part of me, the heart of me
........F/C......C#dim...Dm7...Dm7/C
To watch it fade away

It's over now, it's over now

Fm...........Fm7...........Bb7...Ebmaj7...Eb6
Heaven, Heaven is far away
Ebm7/Ab...Ab7.....Dbmaj9..Db..Gm7/C
Angels no longer play
Fmaj7........F6..........................Cm/F
I need to take this fear and force it down
Fmaj7............F6...........................Cm/F....Bbmaj7
And just pretend that you are not around
.......Am7......D7...............Gm7...............Bbm6
It's over now, I'll put a Frank Sinatra album on
..........F/C......C#dim....Dm7...Dm7/C
And cry my blues away

F........Bb........F........Bb
F........................................................................Gm7/F..................../F#
A cigarette butt when you throw it in the water goes
"ssst"
Gm7.............................Gm7/C.............................F
But the trick, but the trick is you shouldn't laugh
F.....................................................................Gm7/F....../F#
'Cause if you start laughin' you're just a coward

F......................................................Gm7/F.../F#
There's been songs about celebration
Gm7..................Gm7/C.................F
But if you ask me I can't see why
F............................................................................Gm7/F........./F#
There's too much pain, too much pain in my heart now
Gm7.......................Gm7/C..........................F......../G../A
Ooh you're gonna have to prove it to me
F.......................................................Gm7/F
Now some people talkin' about ecology
Gm7...............................Gm7/C..........................F....../F#
Why don't somebody do somebody right now
F...................................................................Gm7/F
And we're all chokin' on the end of our grief now
Gm7...................Gm7/C...................F......../G../A
How could we all just let it slide by
