[Intro] Em  C  G  Em
        C  G  Bm  D

G                           C
  Time ain't nothing if it ain't fast
   Am       F         C        G
Taking everything that you ever had
     G             C
And giving nothing in return
       Am   F           C     G
But a cold bed in the quiet earth

     Bm                Bm11/A
If there's a door in every cell
   Em             A7
A pearl inside of every shell, then

Em      C          G
   How hard can it be
     D9/F#              Em
To share your life with me?
     C          G
How hard can it be
    D9/F#             Em
To rise with me each morning
     C            G
I know that it feels like
 B7            C       G
We'll live forever, but I fear
      C                  G  C6/G  G
That time will hide the years

 G                    C
Life ain't nothing if it ain't hard
       Am       F   C         G
It'll show you who you truly are
 G                             C
Knock you down when you get too tall
          Am      F         C    G
'Till you spun around in a free fall

     Bm                  Bm11/A
But somewhere out there past the storm
 Em              A7
Lies the shelter of your heart

Em        C          G
  So how hard can it be
     D9/F#               Em
To share your life with me?
     C          G
How hard can it be
    D9/F#                Em
To rise with me each morning
     C            G
I know that it feels like
B7          C       G
We'll live forever, but I fear
      C                 G
That time will hide the years
     C              G
Like we were never here
    Am  Am9/B   C        D
So hold on tightly my dear

Am         C               G
  I'm not one to waste my time
Am            C        G
      Searching for some silver lining
Am           C                Em  Em/G
  Somewhere out there past the storm
           A7
Lies the shelter
B7        Em
Of your heart

Em      C          G
So how hard can it be (how hard)
     D9/F#                Em
To share your life with me?
     C          G
How hard can it be
    D9/F#              Em
To rise with me each morning
     C       G
I know that it feels like
B7              C
We'll live forever
       G
But I fear
 C                 G
Time can hide the years
     C              G
Like we were never here
    Am  Am9/B  C          D
So hold on tightly my dear
           G    C   G
Before we disappear
C            G    C   G
  Before we disappear
