D
Ain't on your TV, ain't on your phone

C                             G
You want the truth you got to find it on your own

D
It may not be that easy to see

C                              G
The truth will cost you in the land of the free

D
It's a good question to be asking yourself

C                      G
What is the good life, what is wealth?

D
What is the future I'm trying to see?

C                     G         D
What does that future need from me?
[Chorus]
A                  Bm                 G
Time rolling away, time like a river, time like a train

D                                      A
Time like a fuse burning shorter every day
[Interlude] D C G D C G [Verse 2]
D
Maybe you knew it when you were young

C                              G           D
Not that much distance between you and the sun

D
But now you're wiser and you're afraid

C                              G                        D
You see the stakеs, and the mistakes that have been madе

D
It's a good question to be asking yourself

C                   G       D
What is well being, what is health?

D
What is illusion and what is true?

C                    G          D
What is my purpose - what can I do?
[Chorus]
A                  Bm                 G
Time rolling away, time like a river, time like a train

D                                      A
Time like a fuse burning shorter every day
[Interlude] D C G D C G [Guitar Solo] A Bm G D A [Verse 3]
D
Ain't no directions, there ain't no map

C                          G                       D
Ain't no instructions, and you know there ain't no app

D
You want power? You'll need help

C                          G              D
Look to each other and you find it in yourself

D
It's a good question to be asking right now

C                         G
What'll you put up with - what'll you allow?

D
What is the color, the color of change?

C                        G            D
What is the reason these times are so strange?

D
What is democracy? What is the deal?

C                        G            D
What would it look like? How would it feel?

D
Putting your shoulder to the wheel

C                        G          D
Keeping it turning until justice is real
[Chorus]
A                  Bm                 G
Time rolling away, time like a river, time like a train

D                                      A
Time like a fuse burning shorter every day
[Outro]
D                                   C  G
What is democracy? What is the deal?

D                                          C  G
What would it look like? How would it feel?

C                            D
Putting your shoulder to the wheel

C
And staying with it until justice

                 D
Until justice is real
