Dm G C Am
Then all at once, the sky started raining
Dm G C
Soaked to the bone, stopped!
Dm G C Am
People of nighttime, came out of hiding
Dm G C
One of them turned my way
Dm G
She said: "I'd like to tell you
C Am
Some things I wished I'd known
Dm G C
When I was young like you
Dm G
It won't take a second
C Am
But it could save you years
Dm G C
Years passed like seconds out here
I was enthralled with the way that
She spoke so softly
For a lady of her finesse and personal hygiene
She had cuts, bruises, scrapes, scratches
Hair tangled everywhere
She spoke in a way that demanded my attention
You're at the top of your game
You're in control of your life
Pearl of the oyster
The cream of the oreo
What I would give for that, I hope you never know
C
So live your life!
Am
Don't sleep through the night!
Fmaj
Life's worth a living!
G
You gotta start living it right!
Am
So live your life!
C
Don't sleep through the day!
Fmaj
Dreams are for living!
G
You gotta stop letting them die
