[Verse 1]
Fm
On and on and on you stumble
Ab
On towards the evening sun
    Bbm
She waits for you with open arms
    Db
You stare right through her

[Verse 2]
Fm
On and on you fall towards
    Ab
Her cold embrace in shadowed doorway
Bbm
Offers nothing, still she draws you
Db
Ever to her

[Chorus]
Fm
On and on and on you stumble
Ab/C           Db
On towards the sinking sun
Bbm7              Ab/C
Turn a blind eye, fight or run
Bbdim7           C          Fm
Rest assured the night will come

[Verse 3]
Fm
On and on you grasp and guess
    Ab
And search for patterns in the mess
   Bbm
Of what has been and what is left
   Db
To yet endure

[Verse 4]
    Fm
The jester shrugs and plays his part
    Ab
The fearful see only dark
    Bbm
The pious with their hope-filled hearts
     Db
Sing hallelujah

[Chorus]
Fm
On and on and on you stumble
Ab/C           Db
On towards the cooling sun
Bbm7              Ab/C
Turn a blind eye, fight or run
Bbdim7           C          Fm
Rest assured the night will come

[Verse 5]
Fm
All the love and all the gold
Ab
All you've built and all you've sold
Bbm
All the power you may hold
    Db
You won't evade her

[Verse 6]
Fm
All the steel and all the bricks
Ab
All the math and magic tricks
Bbm
All the carrots, all the sticks
     Db
Will not dissuade her

[Chorus]
Fm
On and on and on you stumble
Ab/C           Db
On towards the fading sun
Bbm7              Ab/C
Turn a blind eye, fight or run
Bbdim7           C          Fm
Rest assured the night will come

[Verse 7]
Db                             Ab/C
As for that the rest is just a test of your endurance
       Bbm
You've gotta love life
You've gotta love life
       C                   Fm
You've gotta love life....
