A Year To Go By

  Here I am
C               Em
  10 years have I
C          Am            F      
  Watch me run, watch me play, 
        G
watch me cry
F             C
  Time has no time
F              C
  The world is mine
       C        Am          F    
And it takes 10 years for a year 
      G
to go by

  Now 21
C               Am         F    
  Learned all I need for a life

that’s just begun
Continues after the ad

All stories have been told
F           C
  Taught by time
