Em
What can you say
         Am
When you see it all just slipped away
Bm
Wasted opportunities
              Em
A chance went begging but you wouldn't play
Em
All you had to do was ask
     Am
How quickly the time does pass
D                                             G  B
Every day gets shorter, see how the years fly by


[Chorus]
Em
Dreams that never were fulfilled
Am
Tales no lips can never tell
    D
You get no second chances
                       G   B
This ticket's good one way


[Post Chorus]
Em
You can't change the days gone by
        Am
Doesn't matter how you try
Bm
Watch the hands of time march on
             Em
And see the caravan of life go by


[Verse 2]
    Em
And so one day soon
  Am
Perhaps you'll come to know the truth
Bm
When our race is almost run
            Em
And we have paid the keepers price with youth
Em
Once again we'll all remark
     Am
How quickly the time does pass
D
Every day gets shorter
                      G  B
See how the years fly by


[Chorus]
Em
Hopes we never realized
      Am
Those times we never even tried
    D
You get no second chances
                       G  B
This ticket's good one way


[Post Chorus]
Em
You can't change the days gone by
           Am
Doesn't matter how you try
Bm
Watch the hands of time march on
            Em
And see the caravan of life go by


[Half step up]

[Instrumental]
Em   Em


[Verse 3]
Em
What can you say
         Am

Bm
Watch the hands of time march on
             Em
And see the caravan of life go by
