Intro: SN (on the G string) G G# A

Chord - F C G
[C] [G] [F]
There are [G]times that you can [C]beckon
There are [F]times when you must [C]call
You can [G]take a lot of [Am]reckoning
But [Dm]you can't take it [F]all
There are [G]times when I can [C]help you out
And [F]times that you must [C]fall
There are [G]times when you must [Am]live in doubt
And [F]I can't help at [G]all

[F]Three [C]blue [G]stars / [C]Rise [G]on the [F]hill
[F]Say [C]no [G]more, now / Just be [Dm]still
[F]All [C]these [G]trials / [C]Soon [G]be [F]past
[F]Look [C]for [G]something / Built to [Dm]last

A wind held by the collar
Yes, a cloud held by the breeze
You can walk on coals of fire
But sometimes you must freeze
There are times when you offend me
And I do the same to you
If we can't or won't forget it,
Then I guess we could be through

One blue star / Sets on the hill
Call it back / You never will
One more star / Sinks in the past
[F]Show [C]me [G]something / Built to [Dm]last.[C][Dm][G]

[F]Built to last till [C]time itself
Falls [G]tumbling from the wall
[C]Built to last till [G]sunshine fails
And [F]darkness moves on all
[F]Built to last while [C]years roll past
Like [G]cloudscapes in the [Am]sky[G]
[F]Show me something built to last[Em]
Or [Dm]something built to try[F][Bb]

Break (Instrumental on verse progression)

Bb back into verse.

There are times when you get hit upon
Try hard but you cannot give
Other times you'd gladly part
With what you need to live
Don't waste your breath to save your face
When you have done your best
And even more is asked of you
Fate will decide the rest.

All the stars / Are gone but one
Morning breaks / Here comes the sun
Cross the sky now / Sinking fast
Show me something / Built to last
