lyrics

there’s (Em) time in the (C/G) mirror
for the (Em) first time (G) years
there’s (B7) time to seek your (Am) answers
there’s (C/G) time to shed your (Em) tears

this (Em) wasn’t on my (C/G) schedule
(Em) i had things to (D) do
i would (Am) fight this incon- (B7) venience,
oh (C/G) i would see it (Em) through

(subtle key change)
but (E♭Dim) then i saw you through my door
your (A/E) eyes pierced deep into my core
as (B7) if you knew my soul begged for
you (G#m) to take me then (F#m) on the floor

(sudden key change)
but (Em) time is in (C/G) human
(Em) time can let you (G) see
(B7) time would flow cor- (Am) ruption
through the (C/G) purest part of (Em) me

i (Em) didn’t take an (C/G) inventory
(Em) details in my (D) way
al- (Am) though i planned to (B7) reconcile
my (C/G) plans just slipped a- (Em) way

and i (E♭Dim) don’t believe in burning hell
but (A/E) as i age i can tell
a (B7) driving force to compel
as (G#m) if i had a (F#m) soul to sell

and (Em) time keeps on (C/G) rolling
and the (Em) mirror never (G) lies
we’re (B7) marching to the (Am) end of time
but (C/G) time never (Em) dies
