Borrowed Time

D E A A/C# F#m E D E A D Oh precious life A How you loved to lie to me D So recklessly fragile A So beyond my power to see D And yet so demanding A By making me believe D That I am standing A In the way of my own reprieve D E F#m That all our days are numbered D E F#m No matter the amount D E There's a first and then at last A A/C# F#m There is finally the fact D E F#m That the numerals just don't count D E F#m And all our time is borrowed D E F#m No deposit, no return D E A A/C# F#m And no promise of tomorrow or the next day D E F#m What was lent you can never earn D If I took care of you A And loved you all your days D I'd still have to let you go A Cause nothing ever stays D You taught me to stand A And then you left the job to me D Now as a man A I'm finally forced to see D E F#m That all our days are numbered D E F#m No matter the amount D E There's a first and then at last A A/C# F#m There is finally the fact D E F#m That the numerals just don't count D E F#m And all our time is borrowed D E F#m No deposit, no return D E A A/C# F#m And no promise of tomorrow or the next day D E F#m What was lent you can never earn D E F#m What was lent you can never earn D E F#m What was lent you can never earn D E F#m What was lent you can never earn
