[Intro]
G A C
G A C
G A C D
C G
[Verse 1]
C D Em
Time and time again I knew what I was doing and
C D Em
Time and time again I just made things worse
C Am
It seems you see the most of what is really true when
Em B
You're stepping into your hearse
[Chorus]
G A C
Only time can write a song that's really really real
G A C
The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels
G A C D
And know he only knows as much as time to him re-veals
C G
[Break]
G A C X2
G A C D
C G
[Verse 2]
C D Em
And when I want to write a song that says it all at once
C D Em
Like time sublimely silences the whys
C Am
I know that if I try I'm going to take a fall at once
Em B
And splatter there between my lies
[Chorus]
G A C
And only time can write a song that's really really real
G A C
The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels
G A C D
And know he only knows as much as time to him re-veals
C G
[Break]

[Verse 3]
C D Em
We are made of it and if we give submission
C D Em
Among our chances there's a chance we can choose
C Am
And if we take it, by uncertainty's permission
Em B
Then it's impossible to lose
[Chorus]
G A C
Only time can write a song that's really really real
G A C
The best a man can do is say the way its playing feels
G A C D
And know he only knows as much as time to him re-veals
[Outro]
