Am           C/B  C      F*      G* (x2)

Older chests reveal themselves          Like a crack in a wall
   Am             C/B   C          F*          G*
Starting small,             and grow in time

(same chords progression)

And we (always) seem to need the help
of someone else
To mend that shelf
(of) Too many books
Read me your favourite line
Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking, and the western man's need to cry
He came back the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
And some things
They stay the same


[Chorus]
(same as verse chords)

Like time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time


[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

Older gents sit on the fence
With their cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change
Children scream, or so it seems,
Louder than before
Out of doors, into stores with bigger names
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they lost their graces
And daddy lost at the races too many times

She broke down the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
But some things they stay the same


[Outro]
(same as chorus)

Like time, time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time,
Time, there's always time
On my mind
Pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time
