Time Stands

INTRO:
F C  C Em
F C  C Em

VERSE:
 F                    C      Em            F
For a moment I could wait to see it fall apart
 F           C            Em        F
Every empty bed in every city I've been
   F              C            Em          F
I sit and contemplate all the moments you said
 F                C       Em           F
Time stands in a duel and I stand for you

F  C  C  Em
F  C  C  Em

VERSE:
        F                C           Em                F
What's that you used to say? Find a love that you can wait for
   F              C                Em        F
Or do you feast upon the weak and weary of heart?
F               C          Em                 F
I can take the pain but I can't take all the hatred
 F           C        Em            F     F
Laziness of mind and simplest of thoughts


CHORUS:
 F            C         Em            F
Are you just too old or too young to carry?
 F                C       Em           F
Time stands in a duel and I stand for you

F  C  C  Em
F  C  C  Em


VERSE:
            F                C             Em              F
Now you're pouring out your hate at every difference you found
 F              C         Em        F
You won't even listen to reason at all
      F                C    Em             F
Not questioning your faith, far be it from me
     F                  C         Em           F   F
But you would speak of love while tying ones hands


CHORUS:
 F            C         Em            F
Are you just too old or too young to carry?
 F                C    Em           F
Time stands in a duel  I stand for you

 F            C         Em            F
Are you just too old or too young to carry?
 F                C    Em           F
Time stands in a duel  I stand for you

F  C  C  Em
F  C  C  Em


VERSE:
     F                  C
Now lean and use your weight
        Em                F
That's what a shoulder's made for
 F             C         Em           F
Carry all the dead and children from here
 F             C           Em                   F
Curses on the men and the greed that seems to plague them
F                 C           Em          F   F
I can't raise my hand so I'm raising my voice


CHORUS:
 F            C         Em            F
Are you just too old or too young to carry?
 F                C    Em           F
Time stands in a duel  I stand for you

 F            C         Em            F
Are you just too old or too young to carry?
 F                C    Em           F
Time stands in a duel  I stand for you


OUTRO:
 F                C    Em           F
Time stands in a duel  I stand for you
 F                C    Em           F
Time stands in a duel  I stand for you
