Standard tuning; EADGBE
Verse;
He was a very special warm and gentle person
who put the music in the world and spoke in rhyme
and it hurts me that I never really knew him
cause all it would have taken was some time
you know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled
and when mountains got too steep for me to climb
and it tears me up to think I never touched him
cause all it would have taken was some time
Chorus;
Well, ain t that just the way that life goes
down, down, down, down
movin way too fast or much too slow
gettin up, gettin high, gettin down
gettin no, no, nowhere
but not gettin into someone I should know
Same as verse before;
Now he s in another place and I can t reach him
and I feel as though I m guilty of a crime
I took all he had to give and gave him nothin
and all it would have taken was some time
Chorus x 2
Gettin up gettin high, gettin down,
gettin no, no, nowhere repeat (3X then fade out)
