    C               e            d            g
It takes more time than I've ever had,
                C           e
Drains the life from me,
               d              g
Makes me want to forget,
     C            e        
As young as I was,
        d              g 
I felt older back then, 
        C       e
More disciplined,
 d                   g  
Stronger and certain, 
     C                                   e 
But I was scared to death of eternity, 
          d              
I was saved by grace, 
            g
But destroyed by naivety, 
      C  e      d        g
And I lied to myself, 
      C      e        d         g
And said it was for the best,
             
             C               e                d           g           
And now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
         C                   e  
I've disregarded what I was, 
 d                 g 
Now that I'm older, 
         C                e                 d          g
And I know much more than I did back then, 
            C          e
But the more I learn, 
       d                g 
The more I can't understand, 
       C                                          e           
And I've become content with this life that I lead, 
             d                                  g
Where I drink to much and don't believe in much of anything, 
      C  e      d    g
And I lie to myself, 
       C   e     d        g
And say it's for the best,


C
We're moving forward,
       e  
But holding ourselves back,
       d                       g
And we're waiting on something that will never come,
