Bb          Cm               Dm                    Eb
I was seven years old when I watched the wall fall down;
Bb        Cm           Dm              Eb
I can't remember but I like the way it sounds.
Bb      Cm            Dm           Eb
I never realized that kids like me grow up in war,
Bb              Cm            Dm                Eb
So I thought my life was hard until you told me yours.

[Chorus]
F                              Dm
And if the sky should fall and break you up or pierce the ground
Gm             F        Eb               Cm
You won't ever let life go. I won't ever let you go.

[Verse 2]
Bb        Cm              Dm             Eb
My father sings to me and tucks me in at night;
Bb          Cm              Dm              Eb
Your father died for you so you could stay alive.
Bb         Cm                 Dm                Eb
And I'm so scared to say that we're the same in every way except
Bb         Cm                 Dm               Eb
One: I was born in peace, and you on'y new the gun.

[Chorus]
F                              Dm
And if the sky should fall and break you up or pierce the ground
Gm             F        Eb               Cm
You won't ever let life go. I won't ever let you go.

[Verse 3]
Bb             Cm                 Dm            Eb
And a child of seven years should never have to see
Bb               Cm               Dm              Eb
Their world come crashing down to whiter at their feet.
Bb            Cm              Dm                Eb
Me in my self-centered little world can't comprehend the truth:
Bb           Cm                    Dm          Eb
That I can't live through what you have, and I could have been you.

[Chorus]
F                              Dm
And if the sky should fall and break me up or pierce the ground
Gm             F      Eb               Cm
Would I ever let life go? I won't ever let you go.
