Verse 1:

   Ab           Bb
My hourglass is cracked
            Cm
And it’s my life spilling out
        Cm
Blowing over like sand
     Ab                Bb              Cm
Just like the feelings I have grown to love
    Cm                        Ab   Bb Cm
How quickly they can all fade away
          B    C#  D#
Is it too late to  say
N.C.
I wish I was there

Chorus:

                 Ab     Bb          Cm       Bb
Oh, please don’t let me die waiting for your touch

I’ll never, not ever feel what it’s like to lose you
Ab
  Never again

So please forget everything and
  Cm
Restart

No, don’t give up on life, this endless dead end
     Ab         Bb
And just this I will wish
Gm                   Cm
All of your pain and sadness
Ab        Bb
Fades someday
          Cm
I hope to brush it away
    Cm               Cm
For now I’ll see you off

Bridge 1:

D#                    B
 My time is spinning around
Ebm       D
Your deep black eyes
Gbm                   F
 I have forgotten the time
    Am                   G#  G#
And now our memories are gone

Verse 2:

      Ab             Bb
There lies a sweet nostalgic scent
  Cm                    Cm
A trap hidden by all of my memories
     Ab
They call to seize
        Bb            Cm
They’re beckoning and yet
  Cm                            Ab   Bb Cm
I cannot find the strength to resist
           B    C# D#
Without a fight I  drown
N.C.
I wish you were here

Chorus:

           Ab        Bb             Cm         Bb
Oh, never close your eyes searching for a true fate
   Ab        Bb        Gm                  Cm
Endlessly pursuing the warmth that quickly vanished
Ab              Bb
  It fades away without a trace
          Cm
Beginning a   restart
          Ab    Bb           Cm         Bb
So let us try again from the very first time
       Ab               Bb     Gm             Cm
Please trust me, ‘cause surely each and every moment
Ab        Bb              Cm
  In this loop is leading me back to you
   Eb           Cm
So I’ll see you again

Chorus:

             Ab        Bb        Cm         Bb
If you could turn back time to relive those days
      Ab          Bb       Gm               Cm
You’d cower, that power is cold and sad and tragic
Ab              Bb
 Even so I will not stand by
          Cm        Cm
I’ll rise again, restart
               Ab    Bb            Cm        Bb
No, don’t give up on life, this endless dead end
    Ab          Bb
Do you lack, do you have
    Gm                 Cm       Ab       Bb
The strength that many don’t to not look back?
            Cm
But can you promise me that
    Cm                Ab   Bb Cm  Bb
For now I’ll see you off
