  Em                     A7
Breathe, breathe in the air
Em                  A7
Don't be afraid to care
Em                 A7
Leave, don't leave me
Em                          A7
Look around and choose your own ground

Chorus:
Cmaj7
Long you live and high you fly
Bm7
Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
Fmaj7
all you touch and all you see
   G                  D#7  D7
Is all your life will ever be

Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Chorus:
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave
