Hourglass

Fm When pretending lends a helping hand C/E We hold it close, so close, and never let it go Fm Then, the pen begins to write a story C/E With an end that bends right out of our control Fm How did we get so jaded? I don't know Was it the white lies feeding our egos? C/E I never valuated minutes I burned through Is that just how it goes? Db Seconds I wasted, I was fixated You're devastated, sorry to say C I can't fix it, is this where I give in? Fm Db Eb I'm falling through the hourglass Cm Fm Db Eb And I don't think I'll ever make it back Cm Fm Db So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb Ab Eb/G Victim to the sands of time Db Eb Falling through the hourglass Cm The hourglass Fm Time is strange, it's ever-flowing C/E Never going back, it moves, but only in one way Fm Turn the page, look back at what you wrote C/E Do you still feel the same? I'll bet your mind has changed Fm How did it get so scary? I don't know Was it the hard life starving our egos C/E I never valued minutes I burned through Is that just how it goes? Db Seconds I wasted, I was fixated You're devastated, sorry to say C I can't fix it, is this where I give in? (Let's go!) Fm Db Eb I'm falling through the hourglass Cm Fm Db Eb And I don't think I'll ever make it back Cm Fm Db So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb Ab Eb/G Victim to the sands of time Db Eb Falling through the hourglass Cm The hourglass Fm (The hourglass) C/E 'Cause that's just how it goes Fm 'Cause that's just how it goes C/E 'Cause that's just how it goes Fm Db Eb I'm falling through the hourglass Cm Fm Db Eb And I don't think I'll ever make it back N.C. Fm Db So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb Ab Eb/G Victim to the sands of time Db Eb Falling through the hourglass Cm (Through the hourglass) Fm Db Eb I'm falling through the hourglass (I'm falling through the hourglass) Cm Fm Db Eb And I don't think I'll ever make it back (Make it back) Cm Fm Db So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb Ab Eb/G Victim to the sands of time Db Eb Falling through the hourglass Cm The hourglass
