[D] [E]
[D] They [Am] say time is of [E] the essence.
[C#] They say time will [Bm] always tell.
[G] I wasted time and caused [Gm] a panic.
As [F#] the road around me fell.
And each moment that [E] is stolen
[C#] Gives another time [Bm] to breathe.
[G] In a life of turning [Gm] pictures
With [F#] fear between my [A] teeth.
From cradle to [D] grave.

I know I won't be [D] a slave.

Till [Bm] I'm ready.
From [A] the cradle to [D] the grave.
[Am] They say time is a [E] good healer.
[C#] They say time will not [Bm] stand still.
[G] But when I look outside [Gm] my window
I see [F#] a sky set to a hill.
[D] And the moon looks down [E] benightly.
[C#] Like it's seen it all [Bm] before.
[G] For a thousand [Gm] generations.
[F#]
Don't live here anymore.
