Time Taketh Away Lyrics

INTRO: F G F ~ ~
Time takes us from cradle to grave
From helpless to helpless again
There ain't no turning back
C ~ ~ F
On this one way track
'Cause one day we're bound to give in
CHORUS:
And it just keeps rolling by
C ~ ~ F
Like the sun in the sky
Like the darkness that follows the day
F G C ~ ~ ~ F
And it may be the lord who giveth
But it's time that taketh away
You watch us grow up
We watch you grow old
It's the order we've known from the start
But it don't help to know
C ~ ~ F
When time's running low
'Cause I swear it still tears us apart
CHORUS:
And it just keeps rolling by
C ~ ~ F
Like the sun in the sky
Like the darkness that follows the day
F G C ~ ~ ~ F
And it may be the lord who giveth
But it's time that taketh away
BRIDGE:
And how can I start to take this in stride
Who let your strength start to fray
And how can I stop the tears in my eyes
You're fading away, fading away
CHORUS:
And it just keeps rolling by
C ~ ~ F
Like the sun in the sky
Like the darkness that follows the day
F G C ~ ~ ~ F
And it may be the lord who giveth
But it's time that taketh away
But it's time that taketh away
OUTRO: F G F ~ ~ ~ C
