C
[Verse 1]
Am
Once you were a young man
G C
Now you are old, you're over the hill
Am
And you can't cross the palm of time's hand
G C
With silver and gold to make him stand still
[Verse 2]
Am
Who could have possibly thought
G C
It would go so fast, but it certainly did
Am
And now you find yourself caught
G C
With less future than past, you're no longer a kid
[Bridge]
G Dm
Once, as a boy, time weighed heavy on your hands
G
You couldn't wait to be a man
[Verse 3]
C Am
And now you cry, oh, it's so hard to laugh
G C
And you can't understand why you can't turn time 'round
Am
Your hourglass once had a top-half
G C
That was filled full of sand, but it's all trickled down
