[Dm] [G] [C]
[Dm] [D] [C] Now as the wheel of life [F] turns faster,
[Dm] Now as the seasons seem [C] to fly,
[E] [A] I see so many things at [Dm] last,
[F] But didn't see the time [G] go by.
[C] I've known delight, I've [F] known disaster,
[Dm] The caviar, [D] the [C] humble pie,
From
[A] the absurd to the sublime,
[Dm] I didn't see the time [E] go by.
[Am] I didn't see the years roll on,
[Gb] I didn't know the road would bend,
[F] Refused to see when youth was gone,
[Dm] Pretending it [G] might never end.
And [C] now, there is a price to [Dm] pay,
For every day I [G] threw away.
It
[C] seems I've wasted [F] half a lifetime,
[Dm] Within [G] the blinking [C] of an eye.
[A] I didn't hear the midnight [Dm] chime,
[D] I didn't see the time [C] go by.
[Dm] [G]
[C] [Dm]
[C] In stolen nights and [F] brief romances,
[Dm] I kissed [G] the girls and [C] made them cry,
[G] While their [A] oceans left to [Dm] climb,
I didn't see the time [G] go by.
[C] I was the one with [F] all the answers,
[Dm] The halfway [G] truth, the [C] harmless lie,
[A] So sure, so certain in [Dm] my prime,
[F] I didn't see the [E] time go by.
[Am] I hit the heights, I bit the dirt,
[Gb] I left some record in my wake,
[F] I didn't see that lies can [Dm] hurt,
I didn't know that hearts can [C] break.
And now, they come to [Dm] haunt my mind,
The lives I've touched [F] and left behind.
[G] [Ab] I've sung a hundred [Gb] songs of longing,
Of sweet regret and [Ab] hopes run dry,
[Bb] I've searched for melody [Ebm] and rhyme,
[Gb] But never saw how [F] time can climb,
Never saw the [Bbm] darkening [Db] sky.
[Gb] I [Db] was a minstrel [Ebm] of my time,
Who did not [Eb] see the time [Db] go by.
[Ebm] [Ab] I [Db]
was a minstrel of my [Ebm] time,
Who did [Gb] not see [Eb] the time [Ab] [Db] go by.
