[Verse 1]
N.C. C
We saw the times
N.C. G C F C F G
We wrote the songs of café bars and midnight chimes
N.C. F C
In perfect rhymes
N.C. G C F C F G
That danced with melodies in song, we sang the times
[Instrumental]
C F Am G C F Em C G
[Verse 2]
N.C. C
We paid our dues
N.C. G C F C F G
We took the road and played the game of win or lose
N.C. F C
We chose the muse
N.C. G C F C F G C G
She led us on in neon lights of midnight hues
[Chorus]
N.C. F Am
And through it all
N.C. G
The rise and fall
N.C. C F G
The come and go, the lost and won
N.C. F Am
We made our way
G
And took the day
C F G
We marched to rhythms of our own
C F
And travelled on
[Instrumental]
F Am C Em C F Em C G
[Verse 3]
N.C. C
A single star
N.C. G C F C F G
That seemed to hang on the horizon from afar
N.C. F C
A perfect star
G C F C F G C G
A city streetlight in the night, this was our star
[Chorus]
N.C. F Am
And through it all
N.C. G
The rise and fall
C F G
The come and go, the lost and won
N.C. F Am
We made our way
G
And took the day
C F G
We marched to rhythms of our own
C F
And travelled on
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
N.C. C
For those we knew
N.C. G C F C F G
The ones we lost along the way, the chosen few
N.C. F C
They left too soon
G C F C F G C G
But we're the ones who'll carry on for those we knew
[Chorus]
N.C. F Am
And through it all
N.C. G
The rise and fall
N.C. C F G
The come and go, the lost and won
N.C. F Am
We made our way
G
And took the day
C F G
We marched to rhythms of our own
C F
And travelled on
