intro: D - Bm - Em - C - G/A 
 
D                   Em/D 
I can feel the time closing in 
A                              Bm 
I can feel the years crawling through my skin 
          F#                Bm 
And if I doubt myself I can count on the rain 
    Em                     Em-sus  A 
To cover the tears of this aging game 
 
D                              Em/D 
But I can count on you to play your part 
A                                Bm 
I don't miss a beat of your animal heart 
              F#                Bm 
And when you push from behind I know I can 
   Em                         Em-sus  A 
Cover a mountain with the palm of my hand 
 
        D         D/B                    Em 
And oh babe, you can make history young again 
A                        
You could rewrite, you could decide 
                  D             
The things that should or shouldn't have been 
C                  B                    Em 
You could look at me in the scheme of things 
D/A        E/G#                    G   A   D 
Oh babe, you could make history young again 
 
D                       Em/D 
I can watch the weeks sweeping by 
A                                  Bm 
I can recollect the hearts hanging out to dry 
                F#                   Bm 
When the world shuts down I can touch my fears 
        Em                      Em-sus   A 
I can hear lost youth ringing in my ears 
 
D                       Em/D 
But I lost nothing when I gained you 
A                           Bm 
You just blew me away with yesterdays news 
            F#              Bm 
When you run your fingers down my spine 
        Em                           Em        A 
It's like throwing a switch on the hands of time 
 
G               A/G 
Ancient minds, ancient lives 
       D 
Got a way of coming around 
G                   A/G 
If I knew then what I know now 
D                    Bm      C   A 
I'd make it back to you somehow
