“Hourglass”
Andrew Horn©
Verse 1
B
Nothing is forever
F#m
And good things never last
E
And learning in the future
F#m
Is based on lessons from the past
B
Thought we were Gold in the Fire
F#m
And we could not be burned
E
Until you lost your desire
F#m
And I melted to learn
Pre-Chorus
C#m E B F#m
Thought I could stop you from changing shape
C#m E B F#m
But two people cannot believe on one mans faith
Chorus
B
And your love is was
F#m
An hourglass
E
What I thought I’d found
F#m
Was too good to last
B
And your love it was
F#m
A promise made
E
But our lock and key
F#m
Held a broken chain
C#M E
And now when I see you
B F#m
I just don’t understand
C#m E
All that I needed from you then
B F#m
Has now become all the time on my hands
Verse 2
It was torture to see it coming
As we reached our end of days
The sands of time were falling
From a Pre-Mature Heart Decay
And as I stood in falsehood
In our final hour
I prayed for the roots of a Redwood
But you withered like a flower
Pre-Chorus
And when you finally spoke the words that broke my heart
I couldn’t blame you too much when I knew from the start
That your love, it was...
