[Verse 1]
Dm       A7/C# Cm               G/B
Far, far away out amongst the stars

          Dm              A7/C#
There’s a planet spinning slowly

   Cm          G/B  Em B7/D# Em     Em   D/F# G
We call it ours any time,       any day

    G     F#/A#    Bm      Em
Any moment that we bring to life

     Cmaj7           G
Will never fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
Em B7/D# Em    G     B7/D#          Em
Oh,         oh the moments come and go

A/C#        D       B7/D#    Em   C
While the memories ebb and flow

      D   Bm      C
Play again, play again

Em B7 Em D/F#      G         B7/D#    Em
Oh,      there’s a hill that we must climb

A/C      D       B7/D#    Em   C
Climb toward the mist of time

         D       Bm              C
It’s all in here what we’ve been through
[Chorus]
Em/B A#dim Am                  Em B7/D# Dm
Down,         I’m getting it down

            G  B7/F#
Sorting it out

   Em   D       Am7        C           G
So everything I care about is held in here

Asus2 (or A)    C      G
All of those I love inside

Asus2          C           G
  Everybody’s playing for time

Asus2             C           G
 You and I still playing for time
[Verse 2]
Dm             A7/C# Cm                     G
Thеre goes the sun    back from whеre it came

    Dm                A7/C#
The young move to the center

    Cm                 G
The mom and dad, the frame

     Em B7/D# Em    Em   D/F# G
Any space,      any time

    G      F#/A#     Bm      Em
Any moment that we bring to life

  Cmaj7        G
Ridiculous, sublime
[Pre-Chorus]
Em B7/D# Em D/F#  G     B7/D#      Em
Oh,        oh the moments come and go

A/C#      D       B7/D#    Em   C
While the memories ebb and flow

      D   Bm      C
Play again, play again

Em B7/D# Em D/F#      G        B7/D#     Em
Oh,        there’s a hill that we must climb

A/C#     D       B7/D#    Em   C
Climb toward the mist of time

         D       Bm              C
It’s all in here what we’ve been through
[Chorus]
Em/B A#dim Am            Em  B7/D# Dm
Down,        getting it down

           G  B7/F#
Sorting it out

   Em    D      Am        C
So everything I care about

           G
Is held in here

Asus2             C
All of those I love

  G
Inside

Asus2        C     G
  Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Asus2       C     G
  Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
[Bridge]
Asus2               C        G
  The future shines a sunny day

Asus2      C                Em
  Unpacked memories stored away

Asus2     C                      G
  All the while, the clock keeps ticking

Asus2             C           G
  You and I still playing for time
[Verse 3]
       Em             C
One by one the voices silenced

         G                   D
For they know that time will tell

     Em                  C
It’s time that wears the crown

    G                        D
And time that rings the bell

Em                  C
   All cards on the table

    G         D
All hands are down
[Chorus]
Am            C           G
  Everybody’s playing for time

Am                 C           G
  Everyone’s still playing for time
[Verse 4]
Em              C              G                 D
  Looking for a flicker in the face of the clock

Em              C                G                D
  Hidden in the mountain, in the body of the rock

Em                C            G                   D
  No one seems to notice or to feel the aftershock
[Chorus]
Asus2             C               G
  They’re all too busy playing for time

Asus2         C           G
  Everybody’s playing for time

Asus2             C           G
  You and I still playing for time
