Am  F  G  C  G
Am  F  G

Am                 F                G                      C  G  Am
   Though once you ruled my mind I thought you'd always be there
         F                      G
   And I always hold on to your face
Am                 F                       G                     C  G  Am
   But everything changes in time and the answers are not always fair
         F                     G
   And I hope you've gone to a better place


Chorus:

      Am              F
   Cordell, time will tell
        G                    C  G  Am
   They say that you passed away
Am       F                     G
   And I hope you've gone to a better place
             Am              F
   Time will tell, time will tell
        G                    C  G  Am
   They say that you passed away
Am       F                          G
   And I know that you've gone to a better place

      Am       F        G       C  G
   Cordell, cordell, cordell, cordell
      Am       F        G
   Cordell, cordell, cordell

Am                 F                G                      C  G  Am
   Your lover and baby will cry but your presence will always remain
      F               G
   Is this how it was meant to be
Am                 F                G                      C  G  Am
   You meant something more to me than what many people will see
          F             G
   And to hell with the industry


Chorus:

      Am              F
   Cordell, time will tell
        G                   C  G  Am
   They say that you passed away
Am       F                     G
   And I hope you've gone to a better place
             Am              F
   Time will tell, time will tell
      G                     C  G  Am
   We all will depart and decay
Am        F                    G
   And we all will return to a better place
      Am       F        G        C  G
   Cordell, cordell, cordell, cordell
      Am       F        G
   Cordell, cordell, cordell
