Time Moves On

Intro 
C    G/B    Am7    F 


 
C 
 I was born beneath the Appalachian range 
        Am7 
Took my running father's name 
              G 
Can't give it back 
C 
 Mama didn't have a lot of money saved 
      Am7 
Daddy smoked it all away 
               G 
And packed his bags  



      F                               G 
I was sitting, missing things I never had 


 
C 
 Me and Abbey, we'd just tally up the days 
          Am7 
That he'd call but never say 
              G 
It wasn't our fault 
C 
 And I remember every part about that day 
       Am7 
Mama's tone and Grandma's face 
                  G 
When they got the call  



     F                            G 
It's hard to miss a man you never saw 
    F                                  G 
And when he hit the ground, I took the fall 


 
    Am C       F  C 
But time moves on 
Am C       F 
Time moves on 
    C    G/B    Am    Dm 
And on 
 

 
C 
 Couple years went by, I had to grow up faster 
        Am 
Lost my accent in Alaska 
        G 
Started over 
C 
 Came back home to a family that was scattered 
     Am 
Coby said he'd break the pattern 
            G 
Was getting sober  



            F                                     G 
But I could see right through those lies as I got older 


 
   Am C       F  C 
As time moves on 
Am C       F 
Time moves on 
    Dm  C  F 
And on 
    Dm  C  F 
And on 
 

 
C 
 Now I'm seventeen and nothing feels the same 
       Am 
As the mountains in the days 
           G 
When I was younger 
C 
 All that's left of it is in a picture frame 
     Am 
As I grow, it starts to fade 
         G 
It loses color  



   F                              G 
If I could go back now, I'd take another 


 
       Am C       F  C 
'Cause time moves on 
Am C       F  C 
Time moves on 
    Dm  C  F 
And on 
    Dm  C  F 
And on 
 

Outro 
         C        G/B 
Oh, it moves on 
         Am       Dm     C    G/B 
Oh, it moves on 
Am    Dm  F  C     Em  Am    Dm
