Text size
 
Capo on 1st fret
              
 
 
Capo: Fret 1 
 
 
Em 
What can you say  
         Am 
when you see it all just slip away 
Bm 
Wasted opportunities  
              Em 
A chance went begging but you wouldn't play 
 
 
Em 
All you had to do was ask 
     Am 
How quickly the time does pass 
D                                             B 
Every day gets shorter, see how the years fly by 
 
 
Em 
Dreams that never were fulfilled 
Am 
Tales no lips can ever tell 
    D 
You get no second chances 
                       B 
This ticket's good one way 
 
 
Em 
You can't change the days gone by 
            Am 
It doesn't matter how you try 
Bm 
Watch the hands of time march on 
             Em 
And see the caravan of life go by 
 
 
Em 
And so one day soon 
  Am 
Perhaps you'll come to know the truth 
Bm 
When our race is almost run 
            Em 
And we have paid the keepers price with youth 
 
 
Em 
Once again we'll all remark 
     Am 
How quickly the time does pass 
D 
Every day gets shorter 
                      B 
See how the years fly by 
 
 
Em 
Hopes we never realized 
      Am 
Those times we never even tried 
    D 
You get no second chances 
                       B 
This ticket's good one way 
 
 
Em 
You can't change the days gone by 
           Am 
It doesn't matter how you try 
Bm 
Watch the hands of time march on 
            Em 
And see the caravan of life go by 
 
 
You can end the song here by repeating the last 2 lines to finish, which I prefer to do. 
 
 
The only difference between doing this and the original version, is that the original version 
now repeats verse 1-4, and then ends with the last 2 lines, making the song slightly longer.
