[Intro]

[Verse]

    D
The call of a train 

whistle cutting through the night
G                      C
 I still remember that sound
    D
The purring of a 

car engine waiting at the light
G                          C
Laughter from a children's playground
 
 
[Chorus]

     Bm                C
That sound can lift me up
     Bm              C
That sound can do my head in
     Bm                C   
That sound can take me back 
       G      D
to the lost horizon
Bm                      E
  Where every memory we shared
                    Bm
Brought us closer together
                       E
And every day we spent there
                     
Was the start of the 
G      D  A  D  A
first day of forever
 
 
[Refrain]

G   D
Day breaks
G                 D
 Along the lost horizon
G    D           A      Bm
Time makes evеry moment count
 
 
[Verse]

    D
The chimes of a clock ticking 

on thе table top
G                      C
 Well, I remember that sound
    D
The braking of a

 bus driver coming to a stop
G                    C
Music from a distant fairground
 
 
[Chorus]

     Bm                C
That sound can lift me up
     Bm              C
That sound can do my head in
     Bm                C    
That sound can take me back   
        G    D
to the lost horizon
Bm                      E
  Where every memory we shared
                    Bm
Brought us closer together
                       E
And every day we spent there
                    
Was the start of the 
G     D   A  D  A
first day of forever
 
 
[Refrain]

G   D
Day breaks
G                 D
 Along the lost horizon
G    D           A      Bm
Time makes evеry moment count
 
 
[Outro]

G                      Bm
 You've gotta live for now
G                  Bm
 Make every moment count
G                      Bm
 You've gotta live for now
G                 D
 Along the lost horizon
