INTRO -

A#m

Like black holes in space, things so easily erased

D#m

Only time will tell, what's left on the face

A#m

Of the world were living in, and the love were giving

D#m

I'm so easily amazed, that the globe keeps spinning

[Chorus]

F# G# D#m

And now were faced, with time in a penitentiary

F# G# D#m

Slow the pace, Cus were gonna get there eventually

F# G# D#m

To that dying day, When the only words we can say

F# G# D#m

Shoulda coulda woulda, but we didn't so we fade away

A#m

Like black clouds in the sky, warning you and I

D#m

That the rains gonna come, and the mud's gonna slide

A#m

And the homes in it's path, piles of wood and broken glass

D#m

And when it's all over, start from scratch

[Chorus]

F# G# D#m

And now were faced, with time in a penitentiary

F# G# D#m

Slow the pace, Cus were gonna get there eventually

F# G# D#m

To that dying day, When the only words we can say

F# G# D#m

Shoulda coulda woulda, but we didn't so we fade away
