One song

One song be fore I (C)go.

Glo ry, one song to (Em)leave be hind.

Find

Glo ry from the pret ty boy (C)front man

One song, he had the world at his (Em)feet.

Glo ry in the eyes of a (C)young girl,

a (Em)young girl.

Find glo ry be yond the cheap col ored (Em)lights, one song be fore the sun sets.

Glo ry on an oth er emp ty life.

Time (D)flies,

time

Glo ry,

one blaze of glo

(G)ry.

One blaze of glo

(G)ry.

Glo (Em)ry.

Find glo ry in a song that rings (Em)true, truth like a blaz ing fire.

An (D)e ter nal flame.

Find one song, a song a bout (Em)love.

Glo ry from the soul of a (C)young man,

a (Em7)young man.

Find the one song be fore the vi rus takes (Em)hold, glo ry like a sun set.

One song to re deem this emp ty life.

Time (C)flies,

and then no need to en dure an y more.

Time dies.
