Justin Nozuka - Hourglass

Album - Run To Waters

[Verse 1]

Long ago when I was young

Running through the fields I had my hopes

I told my parents don’t want to grow old

Oh They smiled and said

D#m F#

"Child that’s the only road we’ve all

got to go"

[Pre-Chorus]

D#m

Heard a crash

F# G#m B

When our hearts broke

[Chorus]

B C# F#

And I thought I better get rolling I have to

B C# A#m

Like an hourglass the sun might be setting here real soon

I could make my way

Right over the moon

If I do what I have to do

B C# F#

I better get rolling

[Verse 2]

Come on Laury

Come move your feet

Run them through the fields

Come on let’s go

With you in bold

I want to grow old

Come find me

D#m

Down that only road

F# B

We’ve all got to go

[Pre-Chorus]

Once the truth

F# G#m B

In our hearts spoke

[Chorus]

B C# F#

Come on I better get rolling I have to

Like an hourglass the sun might be setting here real soon

I could make my way

right over the moon

If I do what I have to do

B C# F#

I better get rolling

[Bridge]

D#m G# B

But I get low

F# D#m G#m B

I get easily burnt out

F# D#m G# B

What I know

F# D#m G# B

That we’re leaving all too soon

[Chorus]

B C#

Oh I better get rolling

I have to

Like an hourglass

B C# A#m

The sun might be setting here real soon

I could make my way

Right over the moon

If I do what I have to do

B C# F#

Better get rolling
