STANDARD TUNING


Intro:
F#m E D x2


      F#m
And there's three
      E
count them three
D
Children playing
    F#m
on the beach
They were eager to learn
   E       D
To be taught and to teach

     F#m
There's Veronica
She's biting her lip
    E
As she watches the waves
   D
turn white at the tip
      F#m
And there's Vada
Radiating with joy,
     E
And luckily she still can't
     D       D
stand the sight of a boy
          F#m
And lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind
    E        D
And he's wondering what love is
  F#m     E D
And why it has to end

  E         F#m
And he can't understand
  D        A
How everyone goes on breathing
   E/G#   D
when true love ends

His mother whispers quietly
F#m
Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
     C#m
It's that moment in life
     A    E   D
when you actually feel alive
  C#m
So live for the moment
  F#m
And take this advice
live by every word
C#m            A
Love is just a hoax so forget
  E          D
anything that you have heard
  C#m         F#m E D D D D
And live for the moment now

      F#m       E
And there's three count them three
D            F#m
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn
   E       D
To be taught and to teach

     F#m
There's Veronica
She's licking her lips
    E
As she waits for her real
   D
first passionate kiss
      F#m
And there's Vada
She can't admit her jealousy
    E          D
Of her sister Veronica and how
she's so pretty (And how
        D
she's so pretty)
        F#m
Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock
  E
He ponders his life and
  D
he skips his rocks
    F#m
And he wonders when his
father will return
E     D
 But he's not coming back

  E         F#m
And he can't understand
  D        A
How everyone goes on breathing
   E/G#   D
when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly
F#m
Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
     C#m
It's that moment in life
     A    E   D
when you actually feel alive
  C#m
So live for the moment
  F#m
And take this advice
live by every word
C#m            A
Love is just a hoax so forget
  E          D  C#m
anything that you have heard


F#m E D  x2

(On second time around)
forget everything

      F#m       E
And there's three count them three
D            F#m
Children missing on the beach
They were eager to learn
   E       D
To be taught and to teach

    F#m
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived
         E
passed the age of fifteen
  D           F#m
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by
    E       D
her ex lover their father
  F#m
She didn't even notice
or pay much attention
    E
As the tide came in and swept
  D
her three into the ocean
  F#m
Now all her advice
  E   D
it seems useless

  F#m
No, Heaven's not a place that
you go when you die
     C#m
It's that moment in life
     A    E   D
when you actually feel alive
  C#m
So live for the moment
  F#m
And take this advice
live by every word
    C#m          A
Love's completely real so forget
  E          D
anything that you have heard
  C#m          F#m
