Intro: SN (on the G string) G G# A

Chord - F C G

C G F

G C

There are times that you can beckon

F C

There are times when you must call

G Am

You can take a lot of reckoning

Dm F

But you can't take it all

G C

There are times when I can help you out

F C

And times that you must fall

G Am

There are times when you must live in doubt

F G

And I can't help at all

F C G C G F

Three blue stars / Rise on the hill

F C G Dm

Say no more, now / Just be still

F C G C G F

All these trials / Soon be past

F C G Dm

Look for something / Built to last

A wind held by the collar

Yes, a cloud held by the breeze

You can walk on coals of fire

But sometimes you must freeze

There are times when you offend me

And I do the same to you

If we can't or won't forget it,

Then I guess we could be through

One blue star / Sets on the hill

Call it back / You never will

One more star / Sinks in the past

F C G Dm C Dm G

Show me something / Built to last.

F C

Built to last till time itself

G

Falls tumbling from the wall

C G

Built to last till sunshine fails

F

And darkness moves on all

F C

Built to last while years roll past

G Am G

Like cloudscapes in the sky

F Em

Show me something built to last

Dm F Bb

Or something built to try

Break (Instrumental on verse progression)

Bb back into verse.

There are times when you get hit upon

Try hard but you cannot give

Other times you'd gladly part

With what you need to live

Don't waste your breath to save your face

When you have done your best

And even more is asked of you

Fate will decide the rest.

All the stars / Are gone but one

Morning breaks / Here comes the sun

Cross the sky now / Sinking fast

Show me something / Built to last
