The Tide Tab por The Spill Canvas

Em                        
And there's three, count 'em 
D      C
three, children playing on the 
Em                                              
beach. They were eager to learn, 
      D              C
To be taught, and to teach 
Em
There's Veronica. She's biting her lip as she 
D                      C
watches the waves turn white at the tip. 
            Em
And there's Vada, radiating with joy, 
     D                                             C
and, luckily, she still can't stand the sight of a boy. 
                     Em
And, lastly, there's Dade. His hair dances in the wind 
         D              C
And he's wondering what love is 
    Em         D  C
And why it has to end. 



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



            Em                        
And there's three, count 'em 
D      C
three, children growing on the 
Em                                              
beach. They were eager to learn, 
      D              C
To be taught, and to teach. 
        Em
There's Veronica. She's licking her lips 
       D                         C
As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss. 
            Em
And there's Vada. She can't admit her jealousy 
       D                                             C
Of her sister, Veronica, and how she's so pretty (and how she's so pretty). 
                     Em
And, lastly, there's Dade. Still sitting on the dock,
D                        C
Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks. 
       Em         
And he wonders when his father will return, 
         D          C
But he's not coming back. 



       D                  
And he can't understand 
    C
How everyone goes on 
G                        C
breathing when true love ends. 
    B                           
His mother whispers quietly, 
Em
"Heaven's not a place that you go when you die. 
          C
It's that moment in life when 
    G             C
you actually feel alive. 
   B                      
So live for the moment 
    Em                                        
And take this advice, live by every word, 
C

And live for the moment now." 



            Em                        
And there's three, count 'em 
D      C
three, children missing from the 
Em                                              
beach. They were eager to learn, 
      D              C
To be taught, and to teach 
        Em
But the sad thing Is that they never lived passed the 
       D              C                      
age of fifteen Due to    neglect 
           Em
from their mother  Who was bed ridden by 
       D            C                    
her ex-lover, their father 
    Em                                   
She didn't even notice, or pay much attention 
       D                                         C
As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean 
    Em              
Now all her advice, 
   D     C
It seems   useless 



Em
No, Heaven's not a place that you go when you die. 
          C
It's that moment in life when 
    G                   C
you touch your edge and you feel alive. 
   B                      
So live for the moment 
    Em                                        
And take this advice, live by every word 
C
Love completely real, so 
G                             C    
Forget anything that you have heard 
    B                        
And live for the moment now.
