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

With these standards I'm forced to love, make me disappear
