[Intro]
[Bm] [D] [G] [D/F#] [Em] [Bm] [A] [F#]
[Verse 1]
[Bm] I'm half remembered, halfway a[D]cross the [G]world,
Twice removed from my second home[D/F#],
A s[Em]hadow of a ghost in an old h[Bm]aunt,
With a [A]lease on life 'cause I can't afford to [F#]own,
[Bm] When being young starts getting [D]old,
A new [G]place saves face or so I'm [D/F#]told,
I'll be the[Em] new kid on an old block,
[Bm] A chalk [A]outline on a playground black top.[F#]
[Chorus]
I'm just a [Bm]moment so don't let[D] me p[G]ass you by,
[D/F#] We could be a [Em]story in the morning but [D]we'll be a [A]legend tonight,[F#]
I'm just[Bm] a moment so don't let[D] me [G]pass you by,
[D/F#] And they can speak our [Em]names in a dead language '[D]cause [A]you and I,
We're a[F#]live, but just for a [Bm]moment.
[Verse 2]
[Bm] I'm twice the man that I thought I was [D]yeste[G]rday,
Half the time I'm a world aw[D/F#]ay,
A [Em]flicker of a soul casting silhou[Bm]ettes,
On the [A]face of a town that could not get me to [F#]stay,
[Bm] When the spark's gone,
Former [D]lovers just [G]looking for a bus to throw me [D/F#]under,
I'll be the [Em]new kid on an old block,
[Bm] A chalk [A]outline on a playground black [F#]top.
[Chorus]
I'm just a [Bm]moment so don't let[D] me [G]pass you by,
[D/F#] We could be a [Em]story in the morning but [D]we'll be a [A]legend tonight[F#],
I'm just a [Bm]moment so don't let[D] me [G]pass you by,
[D/F#] And they can speak our [Em]names in a dead language '[D]cause [A]you and I,
We're a[F#]live, but just for[G] a moment.[E]
Just for a [G]moment[A][F#]
