D A E F#m
It takes more time than I've ever had,
D A
Drains the life from me,
E F#m
Makes me want to forget,
D A
As young as I was,
E F#m
I felt older back then,
D A
More disciplined,
E F#m
Stronger and certain,
D A
But I was scared to death of eternity,
E
I was saved by grace,
F#m
But destroyed by naivety,
D A E A
And I lied to myself,
D A E A
And said it was for the best,

D A E F#m
And now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
D A
I've disregarded what I was,
E A
Now that I'm older,
D A E F#m
And I know much more than I did back then,
D A
But the more I learn,
E A
The more I can't understand,
D A
And I've become content with this life that I lead,
E A
Where I drink to much and don't believe in much of anything,
D A E A
And I lie to myself,
D A E A
And say it's for the best,
D
We're moving forward,
A
But holding ourselves back,
E A
And we're waiting on something that will never come,
D
We're moving forward,
A
But holding ourselves back,
E A
And we're waiting on something that will never come,
D
We're moving forward,
A
But holding ourselves back,
E A
And we're waiting on something that will never come,
D
We're moving forward,
A
But holding ourselves back,
E A
And we're waiting on something that will never come,
D
We're moving forward,
A
But holding ourselves back,
E A
And we're waiting on something that will never come.
