[Intro] 
F#m  E D  x2


            F#m
And there's three 
           E
count them three 
D
Children playing 
       F#m
on the beach
They were eager to learn
      E             D  
To be taught and to teach

          F#m
There's Veronica
She's biting her lip 
       E
As she watches the waves 
     D
turn white at the tip
            F#m
And there's Vada
Radiating with joy,
         E
And luckily she still can't 
          D             D  
stand the sight of a boy
                   F#m
And lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind 
        E               D
And he's wondering what love is
    F#m          E D
And why it has to  end

    E                  F#m
And he can't understand
    C#m                A
How everyone goes on breathing 
     E/G#      D
when true love ends

MUTE ALL
His mother whispers quietly
F#m
Heaven's not a place that 
you go when you die
          C#m
It's that moment in life 
         A        E     D
when you actually feel alive
   C#m
So live for the moment
    F#m
And take this advice
live by every word
C#m                       A
Love is just a hoax so forget 
   E                   D
anything that you have heard
    C#m                 F#m  E D  D  D  D  
And live for the moment now

            F#m              E
And there's three count them three
D                       F#m
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn
      E             D  
To be taught and to teach

          F#m
There's Veronica
She's licking her lips
       E
As she waits for her real
      D
first passionate kiss
            F#m
And there's Vada
She can't admit her jealousy
       E                   D
Of her sister Veronica and how 
she's so pretty (And how 
                D  
she's so pretty) 
               F#m
Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock 
   E
He ponders his life and 
    D
he skips his rocks
       F#m
And he wonders when his 
father will return
E          D
  But he's not coming back 

    E                  F#m
And he can't understand
    C#m                A
How everyone goes on breathing 
     E/G#      D
when true love ends

MUTE ALL
His mother whispers quietly
F#m
Heaven's not a place that 
you go when you die
          C#m
It's that moment in life 
         A        E     D
when you actually feel alive
   C#m
So live for the moment
    F#m

C#m                       A
Love is just a hoax so forget 
   E                   D    C#m
anything that you have heard


F#m  E D   x2
(On second time around)
forget everything

            F#m              E
And there's three count them three
D                       F#m
Children missing on the beach
They were eager to learn
      E             D  
To be taught and to teach

        F#m
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived 
                  E
passed the age of fifteen
    D                     F#m
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by 
       E             D  
her ex lover their father
    F#m
She didn't even notice
or pay much attention
       E
As the tide came in and swept 
    D
her three into the ocean 
    F#m
Now all her advice
   E     D  
it seems useless 

    F#m
No, Heaven's not a place that 
you go when you die
          C#m
It's that moment in life 
         A        E     D
when you actually feel alive
   C#m
So live for the moment
    F#m
And take this advice
live by every word
       C#m                   A
Love's completely real so forget 
   E                   D
anything that you have heard
    C#m                    F#m
And live for the moment now
