Is it giving up or giving in?
G# Fm Cm
Living our lives left unattended is a cardinal sin,
We can trace it back thought the years,
G# A# Cm
We could pin every hope on the future and conceal the tears,

But we are the ones to blame,
G#
Never again, we cry
Fm A# Cm
Please open our eyes to the world we're setting alight,
A# G#
Pray to God to put it to right

Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself,
Cm G#
Time after time (as the hands unwind)
Minutes and hours pass,
A# Cm G#
We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime (Time will be the end of us all)
Cm Eb A# Fm
Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?

When they take the sun out from the sky

But only if we learn

from pages that we've turned,

Get ready to sink or swim
Fm Cm Eb G#
we're dancing on land-mines treading water again,

Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself,

Time after time (as the hands unwind)
Minutes and hours pass,

We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime (Time will be the end of us all)

Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?

Equal measures?

Push it under the carpet,
And put it out from your sight,

Sweep it under the carpet,
Pray that everything is

ticking away inside this time bomb,

Over and over again until we're go - one,

Time will be on our side,
Time will be on our side.
