    Asus2                                  Cmaj7
The child breaks each moment of sadness for our
sakes,
Asus2                         Cmaj7
Leaving, trying his best to believe them,
                            Dsus2
Hoping this dream will come true,
                  Cmaj7
Sadness is only a face for you

Chorus:
G  D/F#    Em7       G/D     Cmaj7         C G/B
I will try like the devil to bear your names,
Am7       D7  G  D/F#
Anything for you,
   Em7    G/D         Cmaj7          G/B Am7
In only a moment your life can change

Still lake
Rocking the boat, it's not too late
Leaving
Trying your best to believe then

Hoping this dream will come true
Sadness is only a face for you

Chorus

Am                               Em
You fell through the window and down on the floor
Am                          Em
You found a direction, you hope will say more
           G          B                  Em C
With your life, it's taken every one in view
     Am                     Em
The people are pretty, the flowers are, too
     Am                         Em
You don't get to heaven if they don't say you do

             G             B                  C
'Cause it's life and it's taken every one of you
          Cm
And it's true

I'd like to take you but I don't think there's
room for two
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you
I'd like to take, I'd like to take you ...
