How many years Will it take us to learn That all the old wrapping Might cover up silver And only the silver Is left if it burns? [Chorus] Can any man that ever lived Answer the question “Why     Any man that ever lived     Fadd9 C       D Was only born to die?” [Interlude]    Dsus4     Dsus4     Dsus4     Dsus4     Dsus4     Dsus4 [Verse 3] All of us entered A three-legged spoon race Everyone wins in the end So don’t rush Just help one another To better positions Just to make sure That there won’t be a crush [Chorus] Can any man that ever lived Answer the question “Why Any man that ever lived Was only born to die?”
