Ron Pope Meaning-Meaningless

Tom: D This is the riff that plays during the intro, and the break between the chorus and verse 2 (for this break, just play the first line). Listen out to the song for timing, but it's basically just on the offbeat. Intro: D A Bm G D A Bm G Verse 1 D A In the sweet embrace of twilight Bm G Just before the night time came D A All her children in the front yard Bm G There was laughter on the breeze D A Then a call came from her father Bm G In his house halfway 'cross town D A He said "Love, I hate to tell you, G D D But your mother, she's gone now." Chorus A Bm D G And time, moving quickly before our eyes A Bm D G Oh why do these moments seem to fly? D A Bm G Verse 2 D A So she tries to tell her husband Bm G But she cannnot make a sound D A And he hears through all the silence Bm G So before she hits the ground D A He says "Baby, are you with me?" Bm G And she opens up her eyes D A And she says "I lost my mother," G D And a piece of her heart dies Chorus A Bm D G And time, moving quickly before our eyes A Bm D G Oh why do these moments seem to fly? A Bm D G And time, moving quickly before our eyes A Bm D G Oh why do these moments seem to fly? Bm D G G I am trapped and wondering why ... Bridge D A Bm G x 4 G Verse 3 D A Now it's late and she is restless Bm G All her girls are tucked in bed D A She is searching for a meaning Bm G When all words feel meaningless D A And the hardest part of losing Bm G Is the memory of the win D A And the hardest part of letting go G D Is when you know you never can D A Yeah, the hardest part of letting go G D D Is when you know you never can Chorus A Bm D G And time, moving quickly before our eyes A Bm D G Oh why do these moments seem to fly? A Bm D G And time, moving quickly before our eyes A Bm D G Oh why do these moments seem to fly? Bm D G I am trapped and wondering why ... Bm D G G Moving quickly before our eyes D A Bm G x2 D This is the guitar riff for the bridge - again, listen to the song for the rhythm. Riff for the outro (very similar to first line of bridge)
