The Center Of Time

A D Somewhere near the center of time, A E People are standing still. A D It took them years to get this far, A E A To climb the expanding hill. N.C. And the closer they’d get, the slower they’d move, A E Until they didn’t move at all. A D Frozen now in a state of grace, A E A Just in the nick of time. A D Somewhere near the center of time, A E In a murky swirling mass, A D People are struggling to find their place, A E A To make the moment last. N.C. And a statue appears out of the mist, A E Of two lovers sharing a kiss. A D As they will until the end the end of time, A E A But the time will never end. F#m B7 And you can try to stop them, E A And you can try to shun them, F#m D And you can try to join them, E A And become one of them. A D Somewhere near the center of time, A E Someone has changed her mind. A D To take the turn is a terrible task, A E A Takes all the courage she can find. N.C. To acknowledge the time, is to acknowledge you death, A E That one day you’ll breathe your last breath. A D She chose to live her life in time. A E A Yeah, she chose it just in time. F#m B7 And you can try to stop them, E A And you can try to shun them, F#m D And you can try to join them, E A And become one of them.
