[Verse 1]
D E F#m D E
Oh, very young, what will you leave us this time
E7 A D
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while
E
and though your dreams may toss and turn you now
A D A
they will vanish away like your Dad's best jeans denim blue
D A D
fading up to the sky
A A7/C# D B E
and though you want him to last forever you know he never will
you know he never will,
E7/G# A
and the patches make the goodbye harder still
[Interlude]
E A E A
[Verse 2]
D E F#m D E
Oh, very young, what will you leave us this time
A D
There'll never be a better chance to change your mind
E
and if you want this world to see a better day
A D A
will you carry the words of love with you
D A D
will you ride the great white bird into heaven
A A7/C# D B E
and though you want to last forever you know you never will
you know you never will,
E7/G# A
and the goodbye makes the journey harder still
[Interlude]
E A A D E D E A D E
A D A D
Will you carry the word of love with you
D
Will you ride
A A7/C# D B E A/C# Bm E A E A E A
Oh

You're only dancing on this earth for a short while

Oh, very young, what will you leave us this time
