F                     Dm 
Once you were a young man, 
                 C                     F 
But now you are old - you're over the hill. 
                F                       Dm 
And you can't cross the palm of time's hand 
                  C                 F 
With silver and gold to make him stand still. 

F                         Dm 
Who could have possibly thought 
                C                      F 
It would go so fast, but it certainly did. 
            F              Dm 
And now you find yourself caught 
                       C                         F 
With less future than past - you're no longer a kid. 


C 
Once, as a boy, time weighed heavy on your hands - 
Gm                         C 
You couldn't wait to be a man. 


F                                  Dm 
Now you cry - oh, it's so hard to laugh, 
                   C                                F 
And you can't understand why you can't turn time around. 
        F                      Dm 
Your hourglass once had a top half 
                         C                            F 
That was filled full of sand, but it's all trickled down.
