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