Cradle to the Grave
by Squeeze
suggested D9 = x54555
C#+
= x4322x
D9 E7
D9 E7
They say time is of the essence
C#+ Bm7
They say time will always tell
G Gm
I've wasted time in constant panic
F#7
As the Rome around me fell
D9 E7
And each moment that is stolen
C#+ Bm7
Is another time to breathe
G Gm
In a life of turning pages
F#7
With the bit between my teeth
A7 D F#m
From the cradle to the grave (From the cradle to the grave)
D F#m
I know I won't be a slave (I know I wont be a slave)
Em7 A7
To the mistakes that I've made (From the cradle to the grave)
Em7
With the passion and the pace (I know I won't)
Bb D
And I wont go till I'm ready
A D9
From the cradle to the grave
E7
They say time is a great healer
C#+ Bm7
They say time will not stand still
G Gm
When I look outside the window
F#7
I see a sky stuck to a hill
D9 E7
And the moon looks down behind me
C#+ Bm7
Like it's seen it all before
G Gm
For a thousand generations
F#7
Who don't live here anymore
A7 D F#m
From the cradle to the grave (From the cradle to the grave)
D F#m
I know I won't be a slave (I know I wont be a slave)
Em7 A7
To the mistakes that I've made (From the cradle to the grave)
Em7
With the passion and the pace (I know I won't)
Bb D
And I wont go till I'm ready
A D9
From the cradle to the grave
E7
They say time will wait for no man
C#+ Bm7
They say time is on my side
G Gm
I can never make my mind up
F#7
As it all goes whizzing by
A7 D F#m
From the cradle to the grave (From the cradle to the grave)
D F#m
I know I wont be a slave (I know I wont be a slave)
Em7 A7
To the mistakes that I've made (From the cradle to the grave)
Em7
With the passion and the pace (I know I won't)
Bb D
And I wont go till I'm ready
A A7/G
No I wont go (from the cradle to the grave)
till I'm ready
A A7/G
No I wont go (from the cradle to the grave)
till I'm ready
D F#m
From the cradle to the grave (From the cradle to the grave)
D F#m
I know I wont be a slave (I know I wont be a slave)
Em7
To the mistakes that I've made (From the cradle)
Bb D
And I wont go till I'm ready
A D9
From the cradle to the grave
