This is the riff that plays during the intro, and the break between the chorus and verse 2 (for this
break, just play the first line).
Listen out to the song for timing, but it's basically just on the offbeat.

[Intro]
D A Bm G
D A Bm G
[Verse 1]
D A In the sweet embrace of twilight Bm G Just before the night time came D A All her children in the front yard Bm G There was laughter on the breeze D A Then a call came from her father Bm G In his house halfway 'cross town D A He said "Love, I hate to tell you, G D D But your mother, she's gone now."
[Chorus]
A Bm D G And time, moving quickly before our eyes A Bm D G Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
D A Bm G
[Verse 2]
D A So she tries to tell her husband Bm G But she cannnot make a sound D A And he hears through all the silence Bm G So before she hits the ground D A He says "Baby, are you with me?" Bm G And she opens up her eyes D A And she says "I lost my mother," G D And a piece of her heart dies
[Chorus]
A Bm D G And time, moving quickly before our eyes A Bm D G Oh why do these moments seem to fly? A Bm D G And time, moving quickly before our eyes A Bm D G Oh why do these moments seem to fly? Bm D G G I am trapped and wondering why ...
[Bridge]
D A Bm G x 4
G
[Verse 3]
D A Now it's late and she is restless Bm G All her girls are tucked in bed D A She is searching for a meaning Bm G When all words feel meaningless D A And the hardest part of losing Bm G Is the memory of the win D A And the hardest part of letting go G D Is when you know you never can D A Yeah, the hardest part of letting go G D D Is when you know you never can
[Chorus]
A Bm D G And time, moving quickly before our eyes A Bm D G Oh why do these moments seem to fly? A Bm D G And time, moving quickly before our eyes A Bm D G Oh why do these moments seem to fly? Bm D G I am trapped and wondering why ... Bm D G G Moving quickly before our eyes
D A Bm G x2
