Am  Am7add11 Am  Fadd#11
Time slips away

Am         Am7add11     Am  Fadd#11
And the light begins to fade

Am         Am7add11     Am  Fadd#11
And everything is quiet now

| Am Am7add11 Am | Fadd#11 |

Am   Am7add11 Am  Fadd#11
Feeling is gone

Am         Am7add11   Am  Fadd#11
And the picture disappears

Am       Am7add11      Am  Fadd#11
And everything is cold now

| Am Am7add11 Am | Fadd#11 |

Am     Am7add11  Am  Fadd#11
The dream had to end

Am       Am7add11    Am  Fadd#11
The wish never came true

Am   Am7add11  Am  Fadd#11
And the girl          starts

Am   Am7add11  Am  Fadd#11
to sing

| Am Am7add11 Am | Fadd#11 |

Am  Am7add11  Am  Fadd#11
Seventeen seconds

Am  Am7add11  Am  Fadd#11
A measure of life

Am  Am7add11  Am  Fadd#11
Seventeen seconds
