Every Second

"every second" by vocal few tune guitar 1 half step down ( D# G# C# F# A# D# ) Verse 1 E A a woman on a plane sitting next to me says it’s a terrible thing to get old E B i asked her why , she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold E A i said i feel it now at twenty - five , yeah i’ve been dying since the day i was born E but there’s still one thing worse than that A B it’s dying without a warning A B it’s dying without being warned Chorus C#5 B A so if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky E B ( C5 ) we’ll both pray to god in the last seconds of our lives C#5 B A but if we don’t die today then may this memory remain E B A that every second lived is worth each second of the pain Verse 2 E oh flight attendant could you tell me the story of how A you gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself E so calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile A B A if today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile , B A B and just smile? Chorus Bridge E A hallelujah , hallelujah ( x2 ) E i never dreamed this life for me , but i Am not afraid A at 35 , 000 feet i make my peace with fate E if my work here’s complete before we hit the ground A may we sing the truth that sets us free , ’cause every second counts ( repeat )
