              INTRO: D 
 
D 
There was a time for you 
G 
There was a time for me 
C            A                D   A7 
There was a time when we were one 
D 
A time to see through cloudly days 
G 
A time when we could find our way 
D              A                 D 
Thru thick and thin we still had fun 
 
 
BRIDGE: 
C 
But as always things have to change 
G 
Nothin' ever remains the same 
C 
I made mistakes, you made some too 
G                                    A7                         D 
I guess there's things we just can't undo, does this mean we're thru 
 
D 
Now it's time to make it clear 
G 
Do you still want me here 
C                   A                    D   A7 
Or would you rather me move on down the line 
D 
Please help me try to understand 
G 
Tell if it's God's plan 
D          A                  D 
Heaven or Hell only time will tell 
 
 
SOLO 
 
 
BRIDGE: 
C 
Tell me should I stop believin' 
G 
Pack my bags and just start leavin' 
C                           A 
Or maybe one kiss might say farewell 
N/C             C   G  A 
Only time will tell 
                C   G  A 
Only time will tell 
                C   G  A 
Only time will tell 
               C    G  D 
Only time will tell 
 
 
OUTRO: D
