D 
How long did we all 
D 
Think this all would last? 
D 
Who could have counted days 
D 
As they flew past? 
 

 
              G 
But before we go 
D                             F#m 
Sing us a song, sing us a song 
               Bm                G 
To hum through the hours of dying 
 

 
D 
Who would have thought 
D 
It'd come as such a show? 
D 
A pink and silver day 
D 
Who was to know? 
 

 
               G 
But even as we go 
D                             F#m 
Sing us a song, sing us a song 
               Bm                G 
To hum through the hours of dying 
D                             F#m 
Sing us a song, sing us a song 
               Bm                G 
To hum through the hours of dying
