Eb
  Be still
                Gm
  And go on to bed
            Ab               Eb
  Nobody knows what lies ahead
Eb
  And life is short
                Gm
  To say the least

  Like shells on the shore
                             Ab
  And may your limits be unknown
                                Eb
  And may your efforts be your own
                              Bb
  If you ever feel you can't take it anymore

  And if they drag you through the mud
                                     Eb

  Over trap and snare
                      Cm
  When you're in too deep
                     Ab
  In your wildest dream
                     Eb
  In your made up scheme
