In the daylight I could cope,

because the sun seemed full of hope

I laughed enough for two grown

and then it came to gloat

We heard about the girl and boy
D

hung by their skipping rope

Verse 4
C
Now, fear is not a gentle thing
D

although it has no fists

Death will take your lips from you

so that you cannot kiss

out for all the love you'll miss

to tell you anything
