[Intro]
(single notes on G string)
G G# A
(chords)
F C G
C G F
[Verse 1]
G C
There are times that you can beckon
F C
There are times when you must call
G Am
You can take a lot of reckoning
Dm F
But you can't take it all
G C
There are times when I can help you out
F C
And times that you must fall
G Am
There are times when you must live in doubt
F G
And I can't help at all
[Chorus 1]
F C G C G F
Three blue stars / Rise on the hill
F C G Dm
Say no more, now / Just be still
F C G C G F
All these trials / Soon be past
F C G Dm
Look for something / Built to last
[Verse 2]
G C
A wind held by the collar
F C
Yes, a cloud held by the breeze
G Am
You can walk on coals of fire
Dm F
But sometimes you must freeze
G C
There are times when you offend me
F C
And I do the same to you
G Am
If we can't or won't forget it,
F C
Then I guess we could be through
[Chorus 2]
F C G C G F
One blue star / Sets on the hill
F C G Dm
Call it back / You never will
F C G C G F
One more star / Sinks in the past
F C G Dm C Dm Em
Show me something / Built to last
[Verse 3]
F C
Built to last till time itself
G
Falls tumbling from the wall
C G
Built to last till sunshine fails
F
And darkness moves on all
F C
Built to last while years roll past
G Am G
Like cloudscapes in the sky
F Em
Show me something built to last
Dm F Bb
Or something built to try
[Break]
(Instrumental on verse progression)
Bb back into verse
[Verse 4]
G C
There are times when you get hit upon
F C
Try hard but you cannot give
G Am
Other times you'd gladly part
Dm F
With what you need to live
G C
Don't waste your breath to save your face
F C
When you have done your best
G Am
And even more is asked of you
F C
Fate will decide the rest.
[Chorus 3]
F C G C G F
All the stars / Are gone but one
F C G Dm
Morning breaks / Here comes the sun
F C G C G F
Cross the sky now / Sinking fast
F C G Dm
Show me something / Built to last
