C G F G
Time takes us from cradle to grave
C G F
From helpless to helpless again
C G
There ain't no turning back
C ~ ~ F
On this one way track
G
'Cause one day we're bound to give in
CHORUS:
C G
And it just keeps rolling by
C ~ ~ F
Like the sun in the sky
C G C
Like the darkness that follows the day
F G C ~ ~ ~ F
And it may be the lord who giveth
G C
But it's time that taketh away
G
You watch us grow up
F G
We watch you grow old
C G F
It's the order we've known from the start
C G
But it don't help to know
C ~ ~ F
When time's running low
G
'Cause I swear it still tears us apart
CHORUS:
C G
And it just keeps rolling by
C ~ ~ F
Like the sun in the sky

Like the darkness that follows the day
F G C ~ ~ ~ F
And it may be the lord who giveth
G C
But it's time that taketh away
BRIDGE:
F Dm G C
And how can I start to take this in stride
Dm F G
Who let your strength start to fray
F Dm G C
And how can I stop the tears in my eyes
Dm F G
You're fading away, fading away
CHORUS:
C G
And it just keeps rolling by
C ~ ~ F
Like the sun in the sky
