"Every Second"
by Vocal Few
Tune guitar 1 half step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
VERSE 1
E A
A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it's a terrible thing to get old
E B
I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold
E A
I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I've been dying since the day I was born
E
But there's still one thing worse than that
A B
it's dying without a warning
A B
It's dying without being warned
CHORUS
C#5 B A
So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky
E B (C5)
We'll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
C#5 B A
But if we don't die today then may this memory remain
E B A
That every second lived is worth each second of the pain
VERSE 2
E
Oh flight attendant could you tell me the story of how
A
you gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself
E
So calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile
A B A
If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile,
B A B
and just smile?
CHORUS
BRIDGE
E A
Hallelujah, Hallelujah (x2)
E
I never dreamed this life for me, but I am not afraid
A
At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate
E
If my work here's complete before we hit the ground
A
May we sing the truth that sets us free, 'cause every second counts (Repeat)
