[Verse 1]
GI could have walked around the world a couple Cadd9times
I could have swam acrGoss the ocean and back Cadd9again
Made a Emwish on every star that Cadd9Galileo Ddrew
For Cadd9all the time I've Dwasted on GyouCadd9  D  
GI could have downed a million beers in Cadd9Mexico
Counted every piGece of gravel on a long county Cadd9road
Sailed that Emslow boat to China Cadd9right up to the Dmoon
For Cadd9all the time I've Dwasted on GyouCadd9  D  
[Chorus]
EmTime goes by and Gwhen it's gone it's gone and you EmrealizeD  
Time just Emlies and yGou did not move on
No, you just Emcried, you just Dcried
[Verse 2]
GI could have filled the Mississippi river with my Cadd9tears
No Gtelling what I coulda done with all these Cadd9years
I could have Emdug out the Grand Cadd9Canyon with a Dspoon
For Cadd9all the time I've Dwasted on GyouCadd9  D  
[Chorus]
EmTime goes by and Gwhen it's gone it's gone and you EmrealizeD  
Time just Emlies and yGou did not move on
No, you just Emcried, you just Dcried

GFor everything I've lost I'm not mad at Cadd9love
I'd even give it Gone more day if I thought it would be Cadd9enough
I could have Emserved five life sentences for a Cadd9crime I didn't Ddo
For Cadd9all the time I've Dwasted on Emyou
For Cadd9all the time I've Dwasted on Gyou
