Standard tuning; EADGBE
Verse;
C Bm
He was a very special warm and gentle person
C Bm
who put the music in the world and spoke in rhyme
C Bm
and it hurts me that I never really knew him
C G
'cause all it would have taken was some time
C Bm
you know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled
C Bm
and when mountains got too steep for me to climb
C Bm
and it tears me up to think I never touched him
C G
'cause all it would have taken was some time
Chorus;
Em
Well, ain't that just the way that life goes
Bm
down, down, down, down
C G
movin' way too fast or much too slow
Em
gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Bm
gettin' no, no, nowhere
C G
but not gettin' into someone I should know
Same as verse before;
Now he's in another place and I can't reach him
and I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime
I took all he had to give and gave him nothin'
and all it would have taken was some time
Chorus x 2
Em
Gettin' up gettin' high, gettin' down,
Bm
gettin' no, no, nowhere repeat (3X then fade out)
