Seize The Day
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over
(F5 F#5 Gm) C F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
Em Dm
But I’m too young to worry
Gm C F
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
Dm Gm F
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
C Dm
I can move on with you around
Gm F C
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
Dm Gm F C
I’d do anything for a smile, holding you ’til our time is done
Dm Gm F C
We both know the day will come, but I don’t want to leave you
(F5 F#5 Gm) C F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
Em Dm
But I’m too young to worry
Bbes
(a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Reff :
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over
Dm Gm F
Newborn life replacing life, replacing all of us,
C Dm
changing this fable we live in
Gm F C
No longer needed here so where should we go?
Dm Gm F
Will you take a journey tonight,
C Dm
follow me past the walls of death?
Gm F C
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
(F5 F#5 Gm) C F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
Em Dm
But I’m too young to worry
Bbes
(a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Reff :
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over
Dm F G
Trails in life, questions of us existing here,
C Bbes
don’t wanna die alone without you there
C F
Please tell me what we have is real
Chorus : C Dm Bbes
F C Dm Bbes (2x)
F C Dm Bbes
So, what if I never hold you, or kiss you lips again?
F C Bes
I never want to leave you and the memories for us to see
I beg don’t leave me
Reff :
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over
Dm F G
Trails in life, questions of us existing here,

don’t wanna die alone without you there
C Dm
Please tell me what we have is real
Chorus : Gm F A Bbes (2x)
Gm F A Bbes
(Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
Gm F A Bbes
I stand here alone
Gm F Gm Bbes
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
