Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[F][G]

[Verse 1]
Becky's [C]playing a piece by
[Em]Gershwin on her old piano[F]
She's been [C]playing since her child[Em]hood,
"Too long to re[F]call..."
But [C]the chords that fall from her fin[Em]gertips,
are [F]the same
She played when she could barely sit still,
back [C]in '69,

[Verse 2]
When the [Em]keys made her
hands [F]look small
And she [G]built her dream around
symphonies and [F]concertos
Around trav[G]eling the country,
and playing the music [F]halls
Four kids [G]later the dreams been reduced
to "what- if" [F]scenarios

[Verse 3]
But hey, [G]to never dream is to
have never lived at [F]all

[Interlude 1]
Never lived at all
[C][Em][F]

[Verse 4]
[C]Dave's a corporate law[Em]yer
in the city of [F]Chicago
And [C]for fifteen years,
he's had his [Em]nose to the old [F]grindstone
Poured his [C]money in the bank to feed
[Em]the beast called portf[F]olio
Well, if [C]time is money then suc
[Em]cess is a life alone
[F]

[Verse 5]
You can [G]look out at the skyline
for some forgive[F]ness
When you in[G]vest in love,
the same will be re[F]turned
He has [G]prided himself on a
lifetime of spoken [F]directness
It took him [G]forty years to hear
[F]the[G] lesson lea[F]rned

[Verse 6]
Has he [F]never [C]liv[Em]ed a[F]t all?[C][Em][F][G][F][G]
[F][G][F][F][F]
[C][Em][F][C][Em]
[F][C][Em][F][G]
[F][G][F][G]
[F][G]
Never lived [F]at all...

[Outro 1]
