           It all goes by so         fast


That's pretty much it for the verse.  The chorus is done with chords.

It goes Verse 1, Ver 2, Ver 3, Chorus, Ver 4, Ver 2, Chorus end.

Verse 1:
I'm gonna live my life
Like every day's the last
Without a sim-ple good-by
It all goes by so fast

Verse 2:
And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me know

Verse 3:
Gonna open my eyes
And see for the first time
I've let go of you like
A child letting go of his kite

Chorus:
         Am              G
There it goes  up in the sky

         Am               A#
There it goes  beyond the clouds

              C          G               Am
For no reason why--------y   I can't cry hard enough

C                  F            Em            G       C   (CaddD)
....No I can't cry hard enough--   for you to hear me now


Verse 4:
Gonna look back in vain
And see you standing there
When all that remains
Is just an empty chair


The C add D thing at the end of the chorus is just something to play with.
It's a three finger C chord, 1st position with the pinky on the 4th string 3rd
fret.

This is from listening to the song on the album and is in the key they do it
in.  Of course they do a better job, but my arrangement sounds pretty good with
someone who can really sing.  It is done predominantly at first position.  They
vary the intro pattern at the end of each verse so after you learn it, you can
embellish it as you wish.
     Verse notes are plucked on the beat.  If it's in 4/4 time, the TAB notes
are all 1/8 notes.  I spaced the TAB numbers out to fit over the words only,
not to indicate timing changes.  They syncopate the words quite a bit.  It
helps to hear the song the way they do it.   I'm not sure I followed all
correct TAB standards, but I hope you are able to enjoy this beautiful song
from my first TAB attempt.  I looked this over several times and it looks like
I play it.  Send an e-mail and let me know if this gets you going.
