Sting - The Book Of My Life

Let me [F#m]watch by the fire and remember my days





And it [E]may be a trick of the firelight 





But the [B?&D#]flickering pages that trouble my sight





Is a [D]book I'm afraid to write







It's the[F#m] book of my days, it's the book of my life





And it's [E]cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife





And it's[B?&D#] all there to see as the section reveals





There's[D] some sorrow in every life







If it re[A]ads like a puzzle, a wa[Bm]ndering maze





Then I [F#m]won't understand 'til the [D dim7]end of my days





I'm still [D]forced to remember, 





Rem[Bm]ember the words of my life [F?]

 

(sorry that's it for now more to come)







There are promises broken and promises kept

Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept

There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess

If I lose everything that I possess

there's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die

There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry

There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies.







Though the pages are numbered 

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life







There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons

There are pages of conflicts that nobody won

And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat,

There's a page where we fail to meet







There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned

There's a chapter on god that I don't understand

There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see







Though the pages are numbered 

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life







Now the daylight's returning

And if one sentence is true

All these pages are burning 

And all that's left is you







Though the pages are numbered 

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life
