It all goes by so fast

That's pretty much it for the verse. The chorus is done with chords.

It goes Verse 1, Ver 2, Ver 3, Chorus, Ver 4, Ver 2, Chorus end.

Verse 1:

I'm gonna live my life

Like every day's the last

Without a sim-ple good-by

It all goes by so fast

Verse 2:

And now that you're gone

I can't cry hard enough

No I can't cry hard enough

For you to hear me know

Verse 3:

Gonna open my eyes

And see for the first time

I've let go of you like

A child letting go of his kite

There it goes up in the sky

There it goes beyond the clouds

For no reason why--------y I can't cry hard enough

C F Em G C (CaddD)

....No I can't cry hard enough-- for you to hear me now

Verse 4:

Gonna look back in vain

And see you standing there

When all that remains

Is just an empty chair

The C add D thing at the end of the chorus is just something to play with.

It's a three finger C chord, 1st position with the pinky on the 4th string 3rd

fret.

This is from listening to the song on the album and is in the key they do it

in. Of course they do a better job, but my arrangement sounds pretty good with

someone who can really sing. It is done predominantly at first position. They

vary the intro pattern at the end of each verse so after you learn it, you can

embellish it as you wish.

Verse notes are plucked on the beat. If it's in 4/4 time, the TAB notes

are all 1/8 notes. I spaced the TAB numbers out to fit over the words only,

not to indicate timing changes. They syncopate the words quite a bit. It

helps to hear the song the way they do it. I'm not sure I followed all

correct TAB standards, but I hope you are able to enjoy this beautiful song

from my first TAB attempt. I looked this over several times and it looks like

I play it. Send an e-mail and let me know if this gets you going.
