[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I went all the way [C]to Paris
[G]to forget[D] your fac[C]e
[Am]Captured [Bm]in stained glass,
[C]young lives [F#]long since passed
[Bm]Statues of l[Esus4]over s eve[E]ry[Am] place[D][G]
[D]I went all across t[G]he cont[C]inent
[G]to rel[D]ieve thi[C]s restless love
I [Am]walked through the [Bm]ruins,
[C]icons [F#m]of glory
[F#]Smas[Bm]hed by the bombs[Esus4] from ab[E]ove[Am]
[D]So we must love

[Verse 2]
[G]while these momen[F]ts
[Gsus4]are still called today[C]
Take part in the [Cm]pain of this
passion [Bm]play
Stretched [Esus4]our youth as [E]we must,
[Am]until we are a[D]shes to dust
Until [Am]time makes [D]history [Em]of us.

[Verse 3]
[G]
Jeu de Paume's full of [C]faces [G]knowing pea[D]ce,
knowing [C]strife
[Am]Leisure and [Bm]toil,
still it's [C]canvas and [F#]oil
There's [Bm]just no medi
[Esus4]um for li[E]fe[Am][D][G]
[D]In the midst of [G]the [C]rubble [G]I felt
[D]a sense of re[C]birth
In a [Am]dusty [Bm]cathedral the
[C]living God [F#]called
And I [Bm]prayed for my [E]life here [Am]in earth
[D]So we must love

[Verse 4]
[G]while these mo
[Gsus4]ments are still called tod[C]ay
Take part in the [Cm]pain of
this passion [Bm]play
Stretched our [Esus4]youth as we [E]must,
[Am]until we are ashes[Dm] to du[D]st
Until [Am]time makes [D]history of [Em]us.

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Bm][D]
[Am][D][G]

[Verse 5]
There are mountains in Switzer[C]land,
[G]brilliant cold as the[C]y stand
[Am]From my [Bm]hotel room,
[C]watching the [F#dim]half- moon
[F#m]Bleedi[Bm]ng its li[Esus4]ght like a[E] la[Am]mb[D][G]
And the town is illumin[C]ated,
[G]its tiny figures are fas[C]t asleep
[Am]And it dawns on me t[Bm]he
[C]time is [F#dim]upon me
[F#m]To return t[Bm]o the flock [Esus4]I must keep[E].[Am]
[D]So we must love

[Verse 6]
[G]while these mo
[F]ments are still called [C]today
Take part in the [Cm]pain of this
passion [Bm]play
Stretched [D]our youth [Esus4]as we must,[E]
[Am]until we are ashes[D] to dust
Until [Am]time makes his[D]tory of us.
