E                             D7                    E  D7
- Those days when our hearts  - were big as the sun
E                             D7                    E  D7
- Turn around with a smile    - for everyone
F#7                           A                        Am
- That feeling's a memory     funny how it fades away

- You won't see those pale grays  - returning to blues
E                             D7                      E     D7
- The colours will wash       - out as I shrink in my shoes
F#7                                  A                    Am
- And I won't always live & breathe  Watch me as I fade away

[chorus:]
E                D7
We wake in the morning and work all day
E                    D7
We dress up in the evening with nothing to say
F#                                A                 Am
Just like a candle burning bright - burning like forever then it fades away

- Who on this planet   - would ever refuse
E                      D7                       E  D7
- The chance of a life - time to love and lose? 
F#7                              A                       Am
- When time is of no importance, have you seen it slip away?

[chorus:]
E                D7
We wake in the morning and work all day
E                    D7
We dress up in the evening with nothing to say
F#                                A                 Am
Just like a candle burning bright - burning like forever then it fades away

[chorus]
E                D7
We wake in the morning and work all day
E                    D7
We dress up in the evening with nothing to say
F#                                A                 Am
Just like a candle burning bright - burning like forever then it fades away
