Father time, I couldn't make her wanna stay
                             Bb
I couldn't seem to find the words to say

Now I have to live in yesterday,

         Cm                                   Eb

Am                             F                        G Em
The clock keeps tickin' and I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
      Am                             F                        G

Father time

          Cm                               Eb
Now she's gone, she didn't even say goodbye
                               Bb
I guess she didn't have the heart to try
                            F
She didn't even have the guts to lie

        Cm                           Eb
Father time, only you can turn the page
                               Bb
And close the curtain on this empty stage
                           F
Only you can take my pain away

    Am                           F                      G Em
My heart keeps breakin' and my body keeps aching for you
        Am                             F                   G
It's time to hold on but there's nothin' left to hold on to
