Verse 1:
E                          F#
Seems like it’s gonna rain again
A  Abm            G
Is it not gonna end?
E                    F#
Does it take a little white?
C#m      
To forget what happened

A                         C#m
To remember know it used to be
A            C#m
A book of memories
A              C#m  
A tale of yesteryears.

Chorus:
 A              E 
It’s going to be time
                       C#m
Everything gonna be alright
                       A
It took the wind out of our sails
             B
But we are not off the air
          A
An era under ones belt

Interlude: B-C#m-B-C#m 2x

C#m 
This is not a sad song
A
I have had enough for one day
C#m        A
What is right? 
           C#m
What is wrong?
                     A-C#m
I have nothing more to say

E
A venture into twilight
C#m
You have always been the bright side
A                    
Now it’s my turn to give up pride
      E                                  C#m
What once was is still here to take a breath of fresh air
 


            A
Predicament lingers
               B
It has never stopped us before
                  A
We’re indebted by your support
       B
An era under one’s belt
            A
Take on the world once again

(repeat chorus)

C#m                         A 
Sure, it’s going to be quite a ride
