Intro:             
Dm                        C
I've got too much on my plate
Dm                           Am
Don't have no time to be a decent lover
Dm                    C
I hope it isn't too late
                   Dm                    C
Searching for the time that has gone so fast
     Dm                        C
The time that I thought would last
Dm               F
My Ever Present Past
Dm                       C
I've got too much on my mind
Dm                       Am
I think of everything to be discovered
Dm                           C
I hope there's something to find
                   Dm                    C
Searching for the time that has gone so fast

The things I think I did
                 Em    Dm
When I was a kid
F                        C
I couldn't understand a word that they were saying
F                            C
But still I hung around and took it all in
F                             C
I wouldn't join in with the games that they were playing
       Am          G           F
It went by, it went by, in a flash
       Am          G           F
It flew by, it flew by, in a flash

There's far too much on my plate
Dm                           Am
Don't have no time to be a decent lover
Dm                     C
I hope it's never too late
