Time Taketh Away(Chords)

	        Intro: F  G  F  ~ ~  

C    G             F         G 
Time takes us from cradle to grave 
     C           G         F   
From helpless to helpless again 
            C          G    
There ain't no turning back 
   C            F 
On this one way track 
                                   G 
'Cause one day we're bound to give in 


 
            C             G 
And it just keeps rolling by 
         C         F 
Like the sun in the sky 
         C             G           C 
Like the darkness that follows the day 
       F          G        C       F 
And it may be the lord who giveth 
                   G       C 
But it's time that taketh away 



                  G 
You watch us grow up 
   F              G 
We watch you grow old 
         C           G              F 
It's the order we've known from the start 
       C             G 
But it don't help to know 
     C             F 
When time's running low 
                                  G 
'Cause I swear it still tears us apart 


 
            C             G 
And it just keeps rolling by 
         C         F 
Like the sun in the sky 
         C             G           C 
Like the darkness that follows the day 
       F          G        C      F 
And it may be the lord who giveth 
                   G       C      
But it's time that taketh away
 

  
Bridge: 
    F         Dm       G            C 
And how can I start to take this in stride 
Dm           F                 G 
Who let your strength start to fray 
    F         Dm       G           C 
And how can I stop the tears in my eyes 
       Dm           F       G 
You're fading away, fading away 


 
            C             G 
And it just keeps rolling by 
         C         F 
Like the sun in the sky 
         C             G           C 
Like the darkness that follows the day 
       F          G        C       F 
And it may be the lord who giveth 
                   G       Em   F  
But it's time that taketh away 
                   G       C      
But it's time that taketh away
