Time: The Beginning

by Megadeth

404
[Verse]
 
Em
Father time, I'm running late
Em
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Em
Seconds drift into the night
Em
The clock just ticks 'til my time expires
 
C                     B
  You were once my friend
C                    B          Em
  Now I know I can't tie your hands
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em
The days I saved I couldn't spend
Em
They fell like sand through the hourglass
Em
No time to lose, no time to choose
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            C    Am  B          Em
Time taking time...  it's taken mine
             C   Am  B       Em
Scenes of my life... seem so unkind
             C   Am  B         Em
Time chasing time... creeps up behind
            C       A      B                 Am
I can't run forever... and time waits for no one
            Em
Not even me
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em
An enemy I can't defend
Em
My final place, a deadly end
Em
Life is just a speck in space
Em
Dreams of an eternal resting place
 
C                 B
  I can't get any younger
C                 B      Em
  Time has brutal hunger
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            C    Am  B          Em
Time taking time...  it's taken mine
             C   Am  B       Em
Scenes of my life... seem so unkind
             C   Am  B         Em
Time chasing time... creeps up behind
            C       A      B                 Am   D
I can't run forever... and time waits for no one
               Am     B
Time waits for no one
N.C.
Not even me
              [Dave Mustaine/Marty Friedman]

Father time, I'm running late
I'm winding down, I'm growing tired
Seconds drift into the night
The clock just ticks till my time expires

You were once my friend
Now I know I can't tie your hands
The days I saved I couldn't spend
They fell like sand through the hourglass
No time to lose, no time to choose

Time taking time, it's taken mine
Scenes of my life seem so unkind
Time chasing time creeps up behind
I can't run forever, and time waits for no one
Not even me

An enemy I can't defend
My final place a deadly end
Life's just a speck in space
Dreams of an eternal resting place

I can't get any younger
Time has brutal hunger
