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