Still lake, rocking the boat it's not too late

Leaving, trying your best to believe them

In only a moment your life can change     (yes it's true)

Am  Em  Am  Em

    Am                          Em
You fell through the window and down on the floor

You found a direction, you hope will say more
          G          B                  Em   D  C
With your life, it's taken every one of you

The people are pretty
    Em
The flowers are, too
    Am
You don't get to heaven
        Em               Am  Em  Am  Em
If they don't say you do

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

And it's true
G             G/F#           Em7                 C
  I'd like to take you but I don't think there's room for two
G             G/F#      Em7          C
  I'd like to take, I'd like to take   you (repeat and fade)
