[Verse]
Em
Father time, I’m running late
Em
I’m winding down, I’m growing tired
Em
Seconds drift into the night
Em
The clock just ticks ’til my time expires
C B
You were once my friend
C B Em
Now I know I can’t tie your hands
[Verse]
Em
The days I saved I couldn’t spend
Em
They fell like sand through the hourglass
Em
No time to lose, no time to choose
[Chorus]
C Am B Em
Time taking time… it’s taken mine
C Am B Em
Scenes of my life… seem so unkind
C Am B Em
Time chasing time… creeps up behind
C A B Am
I can’t run forever… and time waits for no one
Em
Not even me
[Verse]
Em
An enemy I can’t defend
Em
My final place, a deadly end
Em
Life is just a speck in space
Em
Dreams of an eternal resting place
C B
I can’t get any younger
C B Em
Time has brutal hunger
[Chorus]
C Am B Em
Time taking time… it’s taken mine
C Am B Em
Scenes of my life… seem so unkind
C Am B Em
Time chasing time… creeps up behind
C A B Am D
I can’t run forever… and time waits for no one
Am B
Time waits for no one
N.C.
Not even me
