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



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



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



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



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



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