Time Flies By

[Intro] Cm  Cm/Ab
        Cm  Cm/Ab

[Primera Parte]

Cm
    Every day a surprise
                     Gm
Every time a distraction
Ab
    All the while I do try
                   Bb
To hold my hope inside
                       Cm
But my day's growing short
                        Gm
And my mind growing weaker
Ab
    I don't recognize myself
                       Bb
When I look in the mirror

[Pré-Refrão 1]

    Cm
My words are not my words

When they spill out of my mouth

And my world is not my world
                         Gm
I trip and fall to the ground
        Ab
All my wants and my dreams

And everything I'd ever seek

Could they ever leave me
              Bb
Do I still believe
 Cm
Lately I've been thinking

About what will arrive

What will die when I try
                      Gm
And stop hiding in a lie
            Ab
How hard I held hope

Even when my dreams would expire

I'm not feeling any younger

Time flies by and I
       Cm7            Ab7M
Can't find my way in life

[Segunda Parte]

Cm
    I'm stuck in-between now and my past
                          Gm
Things seem to be moving too fast
Ab
    My mind seems to unravel next
                          Bb
And I can't see what else is left
Cm
    This voice isn't mine, it's way out of line
                         Gm
Feels like I'm lying to myself
Ab
    When thoughts and the words escaping me
                         Bb
Are not reflections of who I see

[Pré-Refrão 2]

Cm
   A stranger to the world

A world of things I don't know

I am out of my own
                              Gm
Bearing cold heart and soul, left all alone
Ab
    So lost in the dark

Still out of control
               Bb
I am far from my home
Cm
    I'm afraid of what comes after the day

Into the night

Of who I'll become in the confines
                Gm       Ab
Of the greatest insecurities I hide

Behind my own mask

Pretending something's there

When a void is all I feel

Where has the light of hope gone

(It's too late for us to be young)

[Refrão 3]

 Cm7              Ab7M
Time flies by and I
       Cm7            Ab7M
Can't find my way in life
Cm7             Ab7M
I just need to fight
    Cm7          Ab7M
To find myself again
