C   Am

[Verse 1]
Em          Em                   G   D/F#
 The bells again... someone has died
Em                Em             G   D/F#
 The bells of the end toll to remind
     Am           C           Em     Em
that life's but a race against time

[Verse 2]
Em        Em                 G   D/F#
 At your back you'll always hear
Em               Em            G   D/F#
 The chariot of time hurrying near
    D          C              G        G
The faster you run the closer it comes
  D       C              G Am
A pursuer you can not outrun

[Chorus]
Em                 Am
Hear these words I say:
C                 D
Make the most out of your day
    Em                    Am
For brief is the light on our way
        G           D/F#
on this momentary trail

Em                 Am
Hear these words, awake:
C                 D
Make the most out of your day
    Em                    Am
For brief is the time, so brief is the time
     G                  D/F#  D/F#  C  C
that we're allowed to stay...

[Verse 3]
Em           Em                      G     D/F#
 The bells again... whose turn this time?
Em             Em            G     D/F#
 To reach the end, yours or mine?
     D            C           G    G
Each funeral just makes us realize
     D            C             G Am
that life's but a series of goodbyes

[Chorus]
Em                 Am
Hear these words I say:
C                 D
Make the most out of your day
    Em                    Am
For brief is the light on our way
        G           D/F#  D/F#
on this momentary trail (...too late)

C   Am  Em  Em D/F#

C   C   Em  Em
C   Am  N.C.N.C.

[Chorus]
Em                 Am
Hear these words I say:
C                 D
Make the most out of your day
    Em                    Am
For brief is the light on our way
        G           D/F#
on this momentary trail

Em                 Am
Hear these words, awake:
C                 D
Make the most out of your day
    Em                    Am
For brief is the time, so brief is the time
     G                  D/F#  D/F#
that we're allowed to stay...

Life passes by, melts away like snow in the spring
Em          C    Am                  Em   D/F#
 We all are blind to the running of time

C   C   Em  Em
C   Am  Em
