C   Cmaj9   F             Fmaj7     |G               C   Em7   F
Time has fled, there's a constant battle  Running through my head

But we never learn, trusting in the fire while the cruel flame burns

Fmaj7             G             C  Em Fmaj7
And we need to rebuild what was never there

C         Em            G                 Fmaj7      G     Am
