Only If We Learn
By: Failsafe
Standard tuning, no capo
   BbmIs it giving up or giving in?
Living our lives left unatF#tended     Ebmis a cardinal Bbmsin,
We can trace it back thought the years,
We could pin every hope on the F#future    Aband conceal the Bbmtears,
But we are the Abones to blame,
   F#Never again, we cry
Please Ebmopen our eyes to the Abworld we're setting aBbmlight,
Pray to AbGod to put it to F#right
Time will wait for no one but itself, but itAbself,
Time after Bbmtime (as the hands unF#wind)
Minutes and hours pass,
We find ourselves, find Abourselves committing the Bbmcrime (Time will be the end of us F#all)
Is the life we treasure Bbmpoured Dbout in Abequal Ebmmeasures?
   F#I Abguess we'll never know.
   BbmWhen they take the sun out from the sky
will we complain that there's no F#light to shed
on Ebmwhat we've done to Bbmourselves?
I've got a reason to believe
Something can save us from our Abreprieve,
But Ebmonly if we Bbmlearn
from Abpages that we've Ebmturned,
Get ready to Dbsink or swim
we're Ebmdancing on land-mines Bbmtreading Dbwater F#again,
Time will wait for no one but itself, but itAbself,
Time after Bbmtime (as the hands unF#wind)
Minutes and hours pass,
We find ourselves, find Abourselves committing the Bbmcrime (Time will be the end of us F#all)
Is the life we treasure Bbmpoured Dbout in Abequal Ebmmeasures?
Equal Ebmmeasures?
Bbm Db Ab Ebm
(just drums)
Push it under the carpet,
And put it out from your sight,
BbmSweep it under the carpet,
Pray that everything is
AlDbri - Abi - Bbmight,F#  Bbm  
AlDbri - Bbmight,F#  Ab  
AlBbmright,
Time never ends it F#carries on
Ebmticking away inAbside this time bomb,
BbmOver and over again until we're F#go - Abone,
   BbmTime will be on our Bbmside,
Time will be on our side.

Only If We Learn

By: Failsafe

Standard tuning, no capo

Bbm

Is it giving up or giving in?

F# Ebm Bbm

Living our lives left unattended is a cardinal sin,

We can trace it back thought the years,

F# Ab Bbm

We could pin every hope on the future and conceal the tears,

But we are the ones to blame,

Never again, we cry

Ebm Ab Bbm

Please open our eyes to the world we're setting alight,

Ab F#

Pray to God to put it to right

Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself,

Bbm F#

Time after time (as the hands unwind)

Minutes and hours pass,

Ab Bbm F#

We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime (Time will be the end of us all)

Bbm Db Ab Ebm

Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?

F# Ab

I guess we'll never know.

Bbm

When they take the sun out from the sky

will we complain that there's no light to shed

Ebm Bbm

on what we've done to ourselves?

I've got a reason to believe

Something can save us from our reprieve,

Ebm Bbm

But only if we learn

Ab Ebm

from pages that we've turned,

Get ready to sink or swim

Ebm Bbm Db F#

we're dancing on land-mines treading water again,

Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself,

Bbm F#

Time after time (as the hands unwind)

Minutes and hours pass,

Ab Bbm F#

We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime (Time will be the end of us all)

Bbm Db Ab Ebm

Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?

Ebm

Equal measures?

Bbm Db Ab Ebm

(just drums)

Push it under the carpet,

And put it out from your sight,

Bbm

Sweep it under the carpet,

Pray that everything is

Db Ab Bbm F# Bbm

Alri - i - ight,

Db Bbm F# Ab

Alri - ight,

Bbm

Alright,

Time never ends it carries on

Ebm Ab

ticking away inside this time bomb,

Bbm F# Ab

Over and over again until we're go - one,

Bbm Bbm

Time will be on our side,

Time will be on our side.
