Time - The Beginning

	  		Verse 

Em 
Father time, I'm running late 
Em 
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired 
Em 
Seconds drift into the night 
Em 
The clock just ticks 'til my time expires 

C                     B 
  You were once my friend 
C                    B          Em 
  Now I know I can't tie your hands 


Verse 

Em 
The days I saved I couldn't spend 
Em 
They fell like sand through the hourglass 
Em 
No time to lose, no time to choose 


            C    Am  B          Em 
Time taking time...  it's taken mine 
             C   Am  B       Em 
Scenes of my life... seem so unkind 
             C   Am  B         Em 
Time chasing time... creeps up behind 
            C       A      B                 Am 
I can't run forever... and time waits for no one 
            Em 
Not even me 



Verse 

Em 
An enemy I can't defend 
Em 
My final place, a deadly end 
Em 
Life is just a speck in space 
Em 
Dreams of an eternal resting place 

C                 B 
  I can't get any younger 
C                 B      Em 
  Time has brutal hunger 


            C    Am  B          Em 
Time taking time...  it's taken mine 
             C   Am  B       Em 
Scenes of my life... seem so unkind 
             C   Am  B         Em 
Time chasing time... creeps up behind 
            C       A      B                 Am   D 
I can't run forever... and time waits for no one 
               Am     B 
Time waits for no one 

Not even me
