[Verse 1]
Fm
When pretending lends a helping hand
         C/E
We hold it close, so close, and never let it go
Fm
Then, the pen begins to write a story
        C/E
With an end that bends right out of our control


[Pre-Chorus]
 Fm
How did we get so jaded? I don't know

Was it the white lies feeding our egos?
 C/E
I never valuated minutes I burned through

Is that just how it goes?
Db
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated

You're devastated, sorry to say
C
I can't fix it, is this where I give in?


[Chorus]
    Fm                  Db     Eb
I'm falling through the hourglass
  Cm        Fm              Db      Eb
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
  Cm           Fm               Db
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
 Ab           Eb/G
Victim to the sands of time
 Db                       Eb
Falling through the hourglass
     Cm
The hourglass


[Verse 2]
Fm
Time is strange, it's ever-flowing
             C/E
Never going back, it moves, but only in one way
 Fm
Turn the page, look back at what you wrote
             C/E
Do you still feel the same?

I'll bet your mind has changed


[Pre-Chorus]
Fm
How did it get so scary? I don't know

Was it the hard life starving our egos
 C/E
I never valued minutes I burned through
 
Is that just how it goes?
 Db
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated

You're devastated, sorry to say
C
I can't fix it, is this where I give in?

(Let's go!)

So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb

'Cause that's just how it goes
C/E
'Cause that's just how it goes
