E          G               D 
You could wander off and leave me standing naked on the roof 
E           G             D 
You could write a note to tell me about the point that you have proved 
E           G             D 
There is a question deep inside of me which slowly has been killed 
E          G                D                           C 
There is an hour-glass which bottom half is already been filled 
 

 
E          G               D 
At the river top there is a metal pot that is filled with gold 
E          G               D 
Be the dreamer, be the one who goes against what he has been told 
E            G                 D 
Working up a stream is not the easiest thing that you can do 
E          G                D                           C 
Be the fighter and remember, your own fate is owned by you 
 

 
G           D                     E              C  A  D 
Time rolls by when you are on the other side 
G           D                     E              A  C    D 
Time rolls by when you are on the other side 
                                  C 
Because adversity is the mother of me

E          G               D 
If you ask a dying man about his only last regret 
E       G                  D 
He will answer, he will not till you he has not reached his gold yet 
E          G               D 
But if you ask an honest man if he is really happy here 
E          G               D                                      C 
He will tell you that he would rather spend his waking days over there 
 

 
G           D                     E              C  A  D 
Time rolls by when you are on the other side 
G           D                     E              A  C    D 
Time rolls by when you are on the other side 
                                   C 
Because adversity is the mother of me
