[Verse]
                              C             G
I could've walked around the world a couple times
                           C               G
I could've swam across the ocean and back again
       Em                      D
Made a wish on every star that Galileo drew
    G                 C         G    G/C  G
For all the time I've wasted on you

[Verse]
                               C            G
I could have drowned a million beers in Mexico
                                   C           G
Counted every piece of gravel on a long county road
            Em                       D
Sailed that slow boat down to china, right up to the moon
    G                 C         G
For all the time I've wasted on you

[Chorus]
          Em
Time goes by
                                      C
When it's gone, it's gone and you realise
          Em
Time just flies
                                  C
You did not move on, no, you just cried
         D
You just cried
    G   C   G
Hmm hmm hm

[Verse]
                                  C             G
I could've filled the Mississippi river with my tears
                         C                   G
No telling what I coulda done with all these years
           Em                                 D
I could've dug out the Grand Canyon with a spoon
          G                 C         G
Yeah, for all the time I've wasted on you

[Chorus]
          Em
Time goes by
                                      C
When it's gone, it's gone and you realise
               Em
That time just flies
                                      C
And you did not move on, no, you just cried
         D
You just cried

[Verse]
                          C              G
For everything I've lost, I'm not mad at love
                          C                     G
I'd even give it one more day if I thought it'd be enough
           Em                               D
I could've served five life sentences for a crime I didn't do
    G                 C         G    C
For all the time I've wasted on you
          G                 C         G
Yeah, for all the time I've wasted on you
