Paul Weller - Time Passes

paul weller
time passes

when playing the G chord hammer on the a string
when playing the C chord hammer on the D string
the chord progression is the same all thru the song ,
hope it sounds ok . . . . . . .

G C
i saw you today , or at least i think it was
G C
it’s hard to say , we’ve all changed so much –
Em D
compelled to look , but i hid my face
C G
it’s hard to trace – these feelings
C , G , C

gone so soon , the time i spent with you
and like an old , old tune – keeps running through my head –
i wanted to say , so many things
but my mouth went dry – and one word & i’d cry .

slender bride , your beauty shines from you
and forever more , i’ll be on your side for sure –
a light in your life , that always burns for you
as time passes . . . . so quickly .

the final stage , we’ve both reached some way
as we board our trains to different stations
and the parts we play , and the things we say ,
words on the way – to discovery
