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