Key:C
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C G Am C
The moon is low on the southland
F C
The frogs are asleep on the lake
G Am G
Did you know that tears run in rivulets
Dm F
And hearts can repeatedly break?
C G Am C
And this may well be the last time
F C
If my spirits don't pick up and fly
C
For though it's sad
Am F
It may well be true
Dm G C Am7 C Am7
That our time is passing us by
[Verse 2]
C G Am C
Occasionally you have called for me
F C
I've always tried to be there
Am
But it seemed whenever my train pulled in
Dm F
You never did really care
C Am C
And the only thing I could decipher
F C
From the corner of your roving eye
C
Was that you and I
Am F
Were the first ones to know
Dm G C
That our time was passing us by
[Interlude]
Am C G Am G
[Verse 3]
C Am C
Well, it was fun for the first few years
F C
Playing Legend In Our Time
Am
And there were those who discussed the fact
Dm F
That we drifted apart in our prime
C G Am C
And we haven't got too much in common
F C
Except that we're so much alike
G
And I hate it for though
Am F
You're a big part of me
Dm G C Am C G Am
But our time is passing us by
[Verse 4]
C G Am C
So I can sit here in my silver chair
F C
You can stay there on your gold
Am
You can say you've got commitments
Dm F
And I can say I'm growing old
C Am G
And I can get up and make comments
F C
On the color of the evening sky
C
But our ships have come home
Am F
And the night's rolling in
Dm G C Am
And our time is passing us by
[Outro]
C G Am
C G
But cast us adrift
Am F
And cross a few stars
Dm G C
And I'm good for one more try
