              Intro 
 
{ Am     C     F } 2x 
 
{ F      C      G } 
 
 
F             
Looking back at the beginning of this 
 
Am 
And how life was 
 
F 
Just you and me and love and all of our friends 
 
Am 
Living life like an ocean 
 
F 
Now the currents slowly pulling me down 
 
Am 
It's getting harder to breath 
 
F 
It won't be too long and I'll be going under 
 
Am 
Can you save me from this 
 
 
Am        F 
Cause It's not my time, 
 
    C 
I'm not going 
 
     G            G 
There's a fear in me        It's not showing 
 
        F 
This could be the end of me 
 
    C    G 
And everything I know 
 
            F       Am 
Oh, I won't go 
 
 
 
 
F 
I look ahead to all the plans that we made 
Am 
And the dreams that we had 
F 
I'm in a world that tries to take them away 
Am 
Oh, but I'm taking them back 
F 
All this time I've just been to blind to understand 
Am 
What should matter to me 
My friend, this life we live 
Is not what we have, it's what we believe 
It's not my time 
I'm not going 
There's a fear in me 
It's not showing 
This could be the end of me 
And everything I know 
Oh, It's not my time 
I'm not going 
There's a fear in me 
Now I know that 
This could be the end of me 
And everything I know 
Oh, I won't go 
 
 
I won't go 
It might be more than you believe 
It might be something you can't see 
It's not my time 
I'm not going 
There's a fear in me 
It's not showing 
This could be the end of me 
And everything I know 
 
 
It's not my time 
I'm not going 
There's a will in me 
Now it's gonna show 
This could be the end of me 
And everything I know 
I won't go 
There might be more than you believe 
There might be more than you can see 
 
 
It's not my time 
I'm not going 
There's a fear in me 
It's not showing 
This could be the end of me 
And everything I know 
 
It's not my time 
I'm not going 
There's a will in me 
Now I know it 
This could be the end of me 
And everything I know 
I won't go 
 
I won't go! 
No I wooooon't gooooo down!
