Bm         G                  A
So quickly time will come and time will go
   F#m       Bm
It runs on by
               G                    A
It steals your hopes and dreams and one last chance
    F#m       G
You never know

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A               G
I can see it now
A              G
I can feel its scolding hand
G                         A
Saying come on now you've got to run

Just watch and wait

Telling me now you've got no time to waste

Living breathing touching feeling
