[INTRO + RIFF 1] X2
[VERSE 1]
Am
Well He hasn't always been around *Riff 1*
Am
And He won't always be. *Riff 1*
Dm Em
But He's on the move at this moment
F G G# Am
Measuring life for you and me. *Riff 1*
[VERSE 2]
Am
I fear we all submit to him *Riff 1*
Am
Existing anxiously *Riff 1*
Dm Em F
And no one is able to turn him off
G G# Am
Except the Lord who holds the key. *Riff 2*
[CHORUS]
G Am G Am
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,
F Am
Too late for apologies.
F C Am/B
Too late to forgive your brother,
Am G F
Too late to get on your knees.
G Am G Am
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,
F Am
Too late to help the needy
F C Am7/B
And worst of all it's too late to turn
Am G F
You must face eternity.
Am F Am
His name is Time and he's coming to an end.
F C Am G Am
His name is Ti--me where will you be my friend?
Am F Am
His name is Time and he's coming to an end.
F C Am G Am
His name is Ti--me where will you be my friend?
[INTRO + RIFF 1] X2
[VERSE 3]
Am
Most people think he'll never stop *Riff 1*
Am
He'll go on perpetually *Riff 1*
Dm Em
But old man time is running out
F G G# Am
And he'll cease eventually. *Riff 2*
[CHORUS]
[ENDING INSTRUMENTAL]
On the record recording, for the first half of the ending instrumental, the chords stay pretty much in Am7;
the second half alternates between Am7 & Em add 9 [024000].
In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc72XLx6kvU, there's a 3rd part that repeats Am7 - F - F# - F,
then concludes with *Intro + Riff 1* X3, and finishes with *Riff 2*.
If you are skipping the instrumental part after the last Chorus, you can play the *Intro + Riff 1* 3 times,
then finish with *Riff 2*.
