[Intro]
Dm F C Bb, Dm F C Bb

[Verse 1]
Dm                                            F
When you heart’s on the edge
C                                                             Bb
Barely hanging on like a midnight cigarette
Dm                                              F
When the nights don’t seem to end
C                                                             Bb
And that lonely wind is singing you to sleep once again

[Pre Chorus]
Dm                C                               Bb
I won’t make a promise I can’t keep
Dm                               C                Bb
Like a river flows to the ocean deep

[Chorus]
Dm                F
It goes on and on
C                                              Bb
Bound to forever, even when we’re gone
Dm                               F
It goes on and on
C                                                             Bb
We’ll be together, at the rising of the dawn
Dm
It goes on

[Instrumental]
Dm C Bb x2

[Verse 2]
Dm                               F
When your mind’s on the loose
C                                              Bb
Slowly wearing out like a faded old tattoo
Dm                                              F
When the days all look the same
C                                                                            Bb
When that lonely wind keeps singing only you can ease the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                C                               Bb
That’s the kind of bond that you can’t break
Dm                               C                               Bb
Like looking up at all the stars and space

[Chorus]
Dm                               F
It goes on and on
C                                                             Bb
Bound to forever, even when we’re gone
Dm                F
It goes on and on
C                                                             Bb
We’ll be together, at the rising of the dawn
Dm
It goes on

[Bridge]
Dm                                                             C
Digging through the sands of time to find the way back home
G                                              Dm
The memories and pain, it keeps me hanging on
Dm                                                                            C
To know I’m not alone, We’re stronger than the bonds of blood
G                                                             Dm
Even on the darkest days together through the valley of the dark

[Chorus]
Dm                F
It goes on and on
C                                              Bb
Bound to forever, Even when we’re gone
Dm                               F
It goes on and on and on
C                                                             Bb
We’ll be together, At the rising of the dawn
C                               Bb                               Dm
We’ll be together, At the rising of the dawn.
