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