[C] [G] Time and time [Em] again, I do what I was doing.
[C] [G] And time and time [Em] again, it just [G] makes things [C] worse.
It seems you see the [A] most of what is really true, [Em] and
you're stepping into [B] your hearse.
[G] Only time [A] can write a song [C] that's really, really [G] real.
The best a man [A] can say is how [C] it's playing [G] on him to steal.
And no one only [A] knows as much [C] as time [D] that's [C] shimmery feel.

We [G] are made of [Em] it, and if we give permission

then it's impossible [B] to lose.
[G]
The only time you can [A] write a song [C] that's really, really [G] real
The best a man can [A] say is how his [C] day on [G] hip just feel
And no, he only [A] knows as much as [C] time [D] to him [C] repeal
