We were singing

And folks were dancing

That's the way it goes
FC
We were all too close
G
It was right under our noses
(Pre-Chorus)
FC
Well I got the news today; you're already on your way
FG
You can borrow time, but you still run out of days
FC
You can double down, time and time again
FCG
But the odds are in the favour of the house, and the time has come my friend
(Chorus)
CFC
I cannot swim the ocean wide
GFC
And nor do I have wings to fly
CFC
Just light my way, when it's my time
GFC
Cause there's a new star in the sky

Something we can treasure
FC
For now if not forever
FCFC
You said you made your peace, you're ready for release
G
If it don't get any better
FC
But I just can't abide it
FC
I can't believe it as I write it
FCFC
As hearts begin to sink, let's raise another drink
G
'Cause there ain't no use to fight it
(Chorus) with repeat last line
