       LAND OF THE LIVING    Pam Tillis

Dm                 F         Dm                       F
You gave him some good years     now you'd like them back
Dm                Bb     C         Dm      C
Mistakes become clearer after the fact
C             Bb           F    Dm                      F
Now when you pick up the pieces    You can't make them fit
Dm                Bb             C            Dm   Bb  F C
Don't waste your time trying to make sense of it.

      Bb    F            C          Dm
Just hurry back to the land of the living

The world is turning in the land of the living

Life goes on


Dm                    F        Dm                  F
Come down from that dark cloud    What's done is done
Dm                Bb        C             Dm    C
Don't go around believing you're the only one
Bb                F      Dm             F
that ever felt heartache    turn to regret
Dm                     Bb           C       Dm   Bb F C guitar lick
Aww, we've all got something we'd like to forget         see above

Lean on my shoulder and whisper your tears

We all need someone to echo our fears  Ohhhh

go to chorus

Life goes on

In the land of living the world is turning

Life goes on
