Verse 1:
F#         A      B     F#
Time is a world unto itself
         A        B      F#
Just a graceless ringing bell
            A      B        F#
You try to buy but it won't sell

The sun is up then rushes down

Is there a purpose to be found?

     Can't make it stop

     Can't slow it down

     Nothing to do but let it push me around

     I can't keep it still
                     F#

     Barely a blink before it's all in the past
D   E              F#
     I'm fading so fast

Is there a life still to be found?
               A          B        F#
Don't want to spark then just fade out

Straight down the track, I'm not going back

     I'm fading so fast

Interlude:
A             E           D
   I'm on my knees crying out
                          A
   I need You to save me
           E                D
   I see a light, I hear a sound
                                A
   "You're all right, I got you now"
                E              D
   Here in the face of all my doubt
                             A
   These burdens are lifting up
         E                 F#
   I was lost, but now I'm found

   And I'm looking on and on and on and on


Chorus:
D                   E
     Don't want to stop
                 F#
     Not slowing down

     Nothing to do but lay it all on the ground
D                  E
     Can't keep still
                      F#
     I'm not turning back

     Barely a blink before this moment is past
D   E                    F#
     But the future will last


Outro:
D                       E
     You're all that I have
                     F#
     I'm not turning back
D                       E
     You're all that I have
                     F#
     I'm not turning back
D         E          F#
     I'm not turning back
