D9                        E7
  They say time is of the essence
C#7                         Bm7
  They say time will always tell
G                              Gm
  I've wasted time in constant panic
       F#7
As the Rome around me fell
D9                       E7
 And each moment that is stolen
C#7                 Bm7
 Is another time to breathe
G                     Gm
 In a life of turning pages
         F#7
With the bit between my teeth

A7                      D                     F#m
 From the cradle to the grave (From the cradle to the grave)
                    D                    F#m
I know I won't be a slave (I know I wont be a slave)
                          Em7                    A7
To the mistakes that I've made  (From the cradle to the grave)
                         Em7
With the passion and the pace  (I know I wo-nt)
     Bb                D
And I wont go till I'm ready
         A             D9
From the cradle to the grave

                          E7
They say time is a great healer
C#7                           Bm7
 They say time will not stand still
G                        Gm
 When I look outside the window
        F#7
I see a sky stuck to a hill
D9                         E7
 And the moon looks down behind me
C#7                      Bm7
 Like it's seen it all before
G                   Gm
 For a thousand generations
          F#7
Who don't live here anymore


A7                      D                      F#m
 From the cradle to the grave (From the cradle to the grave)

I know I won't be a slave (I know I wont be a slave)

To the mistakes that I've made  (From the cradle to the grave)

With the passion and the pace  (I know I wo-nt)
     Bb                D
And I wont go till I'm ready
         A             D9
From the cradle to the grave
                             E7
They say time will wait for no man
C#7                     Bm7
 They say time is on my side
G                    Gm
 I can never make my mind up
      F#7
As it all goes whizzing by

A7                      D                      F#m
 From the cradle to the grave (From the cradle to the grave)

With the passion and the pace (I know I wo-nt)
     Bb                D
And I wont go till I'm ready
     A                       A7/G
No I wont go (from the cradle to the grave) 
                             till I'm ready
     A                        A7/G
No I wont go (from the cradle to the grave)
