Intro
E A E/C# A x2
[Verse 1]
E Gadd9
I was looking down at you smiling underneath
E/C# A
For once I held you tight, but shadowed hands grabbed at me
E Gadd9
You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head
E/C# B
It's when you needed me, so I listened to what you said
[Pre-chorus]
E/C# A
Look another year went by,
E/G#
They keep passing by,
B
But damn I didn't even die,
E/C# A
Too old and slow I've grown,
E/G# B
I fought time but lost
[Instrumental]
E Gadd9 E/C# A
[Verse 2]
E Gadd9
It was love like a callus you scarred enough to be
E/C# A
Tough and immune, your body adapts you see
E Gadd9
To all above my head, and all below my feet
E/C# B
Know that's one freedom you'll never take from me
[Pre-chorus]
E/C# A
Look another year went by,
E/G#
They keep passing by,
B
But damn I didn't even die,
E/C# A
Too old and slow I've grown,
E/G# B
I fought time but lost
[Chorus]
E B E/G# A
To criticize and judge, how did I end up here
E B E/G# A
With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
