Is it giving up or giving in?
G Fbm Cbm
Living our lives left unattended is a cardinal sin,
We can trace it back thought the years,
G A Cbm
We could pin every hope on the future and conceal the tears,
A
But we are the ones to blame,
G
Never again, we cry
Fbm A Cbm
Please open our eyes to the world we're setting alight,
A G
Pray to God to put it to right
A
Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself,
Cbm G
Time after time (as the hands unwind)
Minutes and hours pass,
A Cbm G
We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime (Time will be the end of us all)
Cbm D A Fbm
Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?
G A
I guess we'll never know.
Cbm
When they take the sun out from the sky
G
will we complain that there's no light to shed
Fbm Cbm
on what we've done to ourselves?
I've got a reason to believe
A
Something can save us from our reprieve,
Fbm Cbm
But only if we learn
A Fbm
from pages that we've turned,
D
Get ready to sink or swim
Fbm Cbm D G
we're dancing on land-mines treading water again,
A
Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself,
Cbm G
Time after time (as the hands unwind)
Minutes and hours pass,
A Cbm G
We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime (Time will be the end of us all)
Cbm D A Fbm
Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?
Fbm
Equal measures?
Cbm D A Fbm
(just drums)
Push it under the carpet,
And put it out from your sight,
Cbm
Sweep it under the carpet,
Pray that everything is
D A Cbm G Cbm
Alri - i - ight,
D Cbm G A
Alri - ight,
Cbm
Alright,
G
Time never ends it carries on
Fbm A
ticking away inside this time bomb,
Cbm G A
Over and over again until we're go - one,
Cbm Cbm
Time will be on our side,
Time will be on our side.
