[Verse 1]
[Em][D]
[C]One[D]
[Em]has to come to terms
with one's own [D]mortality.
And you can't really help people [C]who
are having problems with mortality,
if [D]you've got problems of your own.
[Em]So you have to begin to sort things out,[D]
and I thought I [C]had sorted things
out until [D]I saw this
excerpt from this book,
[Em]of certainty I shall remember
what it said:
[D]"Life is not the opposite of death.

[Verse 2]
[C]Death is the opposite of birth.
Life is etern[D]al."
And I [Em]thought that it's the most

[Verse 3]
[Em]
profound [D]words I have
ever heard about that is[C]sue
[D]and it [Em]really put me in
peace. [I felt it [D]was a wonderful story.
] And [C]that's it. [D]What else is
there to say? Heh.
Life [Em]is eternal. Surely
the opposite of life is not
death, [D]but life is eternal.
[C]There is no opposite.
And so, what [D]happens is, I suppose,
[Em][and is[D]n't this a raging
(or outrageous)] state of
pure con[C]sciousness,
still[D]ness and silence? Yeah,
what we are [Em]looking for now,
we are searching for and we
[D]have been searching for,
now we've be[C]come closer to it
[D]and now we know it's
already there,
[Em]is there[Bm] for ever to seek,
it's [D]there, [C]and it's going be there, all[D] the time,

[Outro 1]
forevermore.
