[Verse 1]

C            Fsus2      Gsus4
Older chests reveal themselves

C                       Fsus2   Gsus4
like a crack in a wall

Am              C/B   C
Starting small,

     Fmaj7        Gsus4
and grow in time

[Verse 2]

C                  Fsus2    Gsus4
And we all seem to need the help

C                  Fsus2     Gsus4
Of someone else to mend that shelf

Am                 C/B   C
for too many books

              Fmaj7        Gsus4
Read me your favorite line

[Verse 3]

C            Fsus2  Gsus4
Papa went to other lands 

C                        Fsus2 Gsus4
and he found someone who understands

Am                    C/B    C
The ticking, and the western man's

Fmaj7          Gsus4
need to cry

[Verse 4]

C                 Fsus2     Gsus4
He came back the other day, yeah you know

C                    Fsus2   Gsus4
Some things in life may change

Am                     C/B    C
And some things they stay the same

Fmaj7 Gsus4 [Chorus]

C                  Fsus2    Gsus4
Like time, there's always time

C                  Fsus2 Gsus2
                   on my mind

Am C/B C Fmaj7 Gsus4

C              Fsus2    Gsus2
So pass me by, I'll be fine

C             Fsus2   Gsus2
         just give me time

Am C/B C Fmaj7 Gsus4 [Verse 5]

C               Fsus2  Gsus2
Older gents sit on the fence

C                        Fsus2 Gsus2
with their cap in hand

Am             C/B   C
Looking grand

C                Fmaj7  Gsus4
they watch their city change

[Verse 6]

C                       Fsus2 Gsus4
And children scream, or so it seems

C                  Fsus2   Gsus4
louder than before

Am             C/B C
Out of doors, into stores

Fmaj7              Gsus4
with bigger names

[Verse 7]

C             Fsus2      Gsus4
Mama tried to wash their faces

C                   Fsus2       Gsus4
But these kids they lost their graces

Am              C C/B
And daddy lost at the races

Fmaj7           Gsus4
too many times

[Verse 8]

C                  Fsus2      Gsus4
She broke down the other day, yeah you know

C                   Fsus2       Gsus4
Some things in life may change

Am                   C/B      C
And some things they stay the same

Fmaj7 Gsus4 [Chorus]

C                  Fsus2  Gsus4
Like time, there's always time

C                  Fsus2 Gsus2
                   on my mind

Am C/B C Fmaj7 Gsus4

C              Fsus2   Gsus2
So pass me by, I'll be fine

C             Fsus2   Gsus2
         just give me time

Am C/B C Fmaj7 Gsus4

C                  Fsus2  Gsus4
Like time, there's always time

C                  Fsus2 Gsus2
                   on my mind

Am C/B C Fmaj7 Gsus4

C              Fsus2   Gsus2
So pass me by, I'll be fine

C              Fsus2  Gsus2
         just give me time

Am C/B C Fmaj7 Gsus4
