[Opening]
[D]Minsan sa may Kalayaan tayo’y nagkatagpuan
[Em]May mga sariling gimik [Gm]at kanya-kanyang hangad [D]sa buhay
[D]Sa ilalim ng iisang bubong, mga sikretong ibinubulong
[Em]Kahit na ano’ng mangyari, [Gm]kahit na saan ka man [D]patungo.

[chorus]
Ngunit [D]ngayon kay bilis maglaho ng [G]kahapon
[Gm]Sana’y wag kali[D]mutan [Gm]ang ating mga pinagsa[A]mahan
At [F#m]kung sakaling [G]gipitin ay [F#m]laging [G]iisipin
Na [D]minsan tayo [A]ay naging [G]tunay na [Gm]magkai[D]bigan.

[verse 2]

[D] [A] [G] [Gm]
[D]Minsan ay parang wala nang bukas sa buhay natin
[Em]Inuman hanggang sa [Gm]magdamag na para bang tayo’y [D]mauubusan
[D]Sa ilalim ng bilog na buwan, mga tiyan nati’y walang laman
[Em]Ngunit kahit na walang [Gm]pera, ang bawat gabi’y [D]anong saya.

[chorus]
Ngunit [D]ngayon kay bilis maglaho ng [G]kahapon
[Gm]Sana’y wag kali[D]mutan [Gm]ang ating mga pinagsa[A]mahan
At [F#m]kung sakaling [G]gipitin ay [F#m]laging [G]iisipin
Na [D]minsan tayo [A]ay naging [G]tunay na [Gm]magkai[D]bigan.

[Closing]
[Am] [E]Minsan ay hindi mo na alam ang nangyayari
Kahit [F#m]na ano’ng gawin, [Am]lahat ng bagay ay mayrong hang[E]ganan
Dahil [E]ngayon tayo ay nilimot ng [A]kahapon
[Am]Di na mapipi[E]lit na bu[Am]hayin ang ating pinagsa[B]mahan
Ngunit [G#m]kung sakaling [A]mapadaan, baka [G#m]ikaw ay aking ta[A]wagan
Dahil [E]minsan tayo [B]ay naging [Am]tunay na magkai[E]bigan.
