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