INTRO + RIFF 1 X2


VERSE 1
Am
Well He hasn't always been around  *Riff 1*

Am
And He won't always be.  *Riff 1*

Dm                      Em
But He's on the move at this moment

          F        G   G#  Am
Measuring life for you and me.  *Riff 1*


VERSE 2
Am
I fear we all submit to him  *Riff 1*

Am
Existing anxiously  *Riff 1*

Dm            Em               F
And no one is able to turn him off

           G        G#        Am
Except the Lord who holds the key.  *Riff 2*


CHORUS
         Am   G     Am
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,

    F             Am
Too late for apologies.

    F                    C Am7/B
Too late to forgive your brother,

            Am  G       F
Too late to get on your knees.

G        Am   G     Am
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,

    F                   Am
Too late to help the needy

    F                     C       Am7/B
And worst of all it's too late to turn

         Am    G    F
You must face eternity.


            Am            F              Am
His name is Time and he's coming to an end.

            F C Am G              Am
His name is Ti--me where will you be my friend?

            Am            F              Am
His name is Time and he's coming to an end.

            F C Am G              Am
His name is Ti--me where will you be my friend?


INTRO + RIFF 1 X2

VERSE 3
Am
Most people think he'll never stop  *Riff 1*

Am
He'll go on perpetually  *Riff 1*

Dm                  Em
But old man time is running out

          F            G G# Am
And he'll cease eventually.     *Riff 2*


CHORUS


ENDING INSTRUMENTAL
On the record recording, for the first half of the ending instrumental, the chords stay pretty much in Am7;
the second half alternates between Am7 & Em add 9 024000.

In this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc72XLx6kvU, there's a 3rd part that repeats Am7 - F - F# - F,
then concludes with *Intro + Riff 1* X3, and finishes with *Riff 2*
