Test Of Time

F# G# A#m C# Fm F# G# A#m G#


[Verse 1]
C#
I still remember
G#                           A#m                       F#      C#
Growing up the two of us we swore that we'd always be friends
                       G#                         A#m
We didn't know yet that promises have consequences
                        F#
Even when you're just a kid
     A#m           G#
One fight, she was out of my life
        Fm                          F#    A#m
And it shattered what I thought we built
                 G#
Wish I could've swallowed my pride
        Fm                       F#
But now I have to live with the guilt
           F#/A#        G#       F#
I saw that she's gotten married
                F#/A#         G#    F#
In pictures she looks really happy
              F#/A#        G#      F#
A snapshot of her life without me


[Chorus]
                 F#/A#       G#             F#
And I know, I've never done that well with change
               F#/A#     G#              F#
And there's no point in trying to place blame
       F#/A#        G#           F#        G#        F#
I just hate it that we couldn't stand the test of time

[Verse 2]
 C#
Sophomores in high school
 G#                                  A#m               F#   C#
History class, he made me laugh and instantly we got along
                        G#
We'd sit for hours and contemplate the world we'd change
    A#m                          F#
The way that you do when you're young
            A#m          G#
But life's tough and he picked me back up
          Fm                         F#    A#m
When the first boy I loved broke my heart
                          G#
I even caught him when he hit his rock bottom
     Fm                    F#
But slowly we've drifted apart
           F#/A#      G#    F#
He and his wife had a baby
          F#/A#           G#     F#
I haven't heard from him lately
                    F#/A#           G#      F#
But I hope he knows how proud he's made me


[Chorus]
                 F#/A#       G#             F#
And I know, I've never done that well with change
               F#/A#     G#              F#
And there's no point in trying to place blame
       F#/A#        G#           F#        G#        C#
I just hate it that we couldn't stand the test of time

[Bridge]
A#m                         F#
You don't get closure, you blink and it's over
    C#                    G#                          F#
And you never see what a good thing you have 'til it's gone
A#m                 G#                      F#
I never saw what a good thing I had but it's gone


[Chorus]
                 F#/A#       G#             F#
And I know, I've never done that well with change
               F#/A#     G#              F#
And there's no point in trying to place blame
       F#/A#        G#           F#        G#        C#
I just hate it that we couldn't stand the test of time
