Verse
In this oDne of many possible woCrlds
All for the bGest, or some bizarre teDst
It Dis what it is and whatCever
TimGe is still the infinite jeDst
The arDrow flies when you dreaCm
The hours tick awaGy
The cells tick awDay
The WaDtchmaker keeps to his schCemes
The hours tick awaGy
They tick awDay
Chorus
EmThe measure of a liGfe is a measure of loAmve and respect
So hCard to earn, so easily burned
EmThe measure of a liGfe is a measure of loAmve and respect
So hCard to earn, so easily burned
EmIn the fullness of tGime
A garden to nuCrture aBmnd protecAmt
Verse
In the rDise and the set of the suCn
To the stars goes Gspinning
Spinning 'round the niDght
Oh it Dis what it is and foreCver
Each momGent of memory afliDght
The aDrrow flies while you dreCam
The hours tick awayG  
The cells tick aDway
The WDatchmaker has time up his sleCeve
The hours tick awaGy
They tick awaDy
Chorus
EmThe measure of a liGfe is a measure of loAmve and respect
So hCard to earn, so easily burned
EmIn the fullness of tGime
A garden to nuCrture aBmnd protecAmt

The wCay you live, The gifts that you give
EmAnd the fullness of tGime is the only retCurn that Bmyou expectAm  
Bridge (No Acoustic Guitar Here, but I'll leave the lyrics).

Hope is what remains to be seen
Solo (Chorus Chords)
