F   Am   G   Em C F   Em C G

[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]
F   Am   C   Em C F   Em C G
F   Am   C   Em C F   Em C G

[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
