Hey, guys! This is probably my Favorite song from Set It Off's new album, Midnight.
This is also my first tab, so please go easy on me. Enjoy!
[Verse 1]
Fm
When pretending lends a helping hand
C
We hold it close, so close, and never let it go
Fm
Then, the pen begins to write a story
C
With an end that bends right out of our control
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm
How did we get so jaded? I don't know
Was it the white lies feeding our egos?
E
I never valuated minutes I burned through
C
Is that just how it goes?
C#
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated
You're devastated, sorry to say
C
I can't fix it, is this where I give in?
[Chorus]
Fm C# D#
I'm falling through the hourglass
Cm Fm C# D#
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
Cm Fm D#
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
G# D#
Victim to the sands of time
C# D#
Falling through the hourglass
Cm
The hourglass
[Verse 2]
Fm
Time is strange, it's ever-flowing
C
Never going back, it moves, but only in one way
Fm
Turn the page, look back at what you wrote
C
Do you still feel the same?
I'll bet your mind has changed
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm
How did it get so scary? I don't know
Was it the hard life starving our egos
Em
I never valued minutes I burned through
C
Is that just how it goes?
C#
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated
You're devastated, sorry to say
C
I can't fix it, is this where I give in?
(Let's go!)
[Chorus]
Fm C# D#
I'm falling through the hourglass
Cm Fm C# D#
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
Cm Fm D#
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
G# D#
Victim to the sands of time
C# D#
Falling through the hourglass
Cm
The hourglass
(The hourglass)
[Bridge]
C Fm
'Cause that's just how it goes
Em
'Cause that's just how it goes
Cm
'Cause that's just how it goes
[Chorus] *stop playing*
I'm falling through the hourglass
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
Fm D#
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
G# D#
Victim to the sands of time
C# D#
Falling through the hourglass
Cm
(Through the hourglass)
[Outro]
Fm C# D#
I'm falling through the hourglass (I'm falling through the hourglass)
Cm Fm C# D#
And I don't think I'll ever make it back (Make it back)
Cm Fm D#
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
G# D#
Victim to the sands of time
C# D#
Falling through the hourglass
Cm
The hourglass
