D9 E7
They say time is of the essence
C#7 Bm7
They say time will always tell
G Gm
I've wasted time in constant panic
F#7
As the Rome around me fell
D9 E7
And each moment that is stolen
C#7 Bm7
Is another time to breathe
G Gm
In a life of turning pages
F#7
With the bit between my teeth
A7 D F#m
From the cradle to the grave (From the cradle to the grave)
D F#m
I know I won't be a slave (I know I wont be a slave)
Em7 A7
To the mistakes that I've made (From the cradle to the grave)
Em7
With the passion and the pace (I know I wo-nt)
Bb D
And I wont go till I'm ready
A D9
From the cradle to the grave
E7
They say time is a great healer
C#7 Bm7
They say time will not stand still
G Gm
When I look outside the window
F#7
I see a sky stuck to a hill
D9 E7
And the moon looks down behind me
C#7 Bm7
Like it's seen it all before
G Gm
For a thousand generations
F#7
Who don't live here anymore

From the cradle to the grave (From the cradle to the grave)

I can never make my mind up

As it all goes whizzing by
