G C Em D G
Verse 1:
G C
Memories flicker day by day
Em D
Hour by hour, and minute by minute
G C
Every second passing by
Em D
Is like a lifetime without you in it
G C
Yesteryear, when you were mine
Em D
Our love breezed by in a twinkled eye
G C
A blink between our first hello
Em D G
And our last goodbye
Chorus:
C
Slowly sifting through my hands
G
Falling like grains of sand
Am Em C D
The hourglass of our past is finally empty
C
And there ain't no way of knowing
G
Where all this time's a-going
C Em
Sifting away somewhere between
Am D G
A flickering dream and fading memories
[Interlude]
C Em D G
Verse 2:
G C Em
Remember when we were lying in bed at night
D
Your hand in mine
G C
Laughing through the rain and lightning
Em D
That took out all the power lines?
G C
When worries of a simple kind
Em D
And easy times weren't hard to find
G C
Forgiving and forgetting you
Em D G
Was never on my mind
Chorus:
C
Slowly sifting through my hands
G
Falling like grains of sand
Am Em C D
The hourglass of our past is finally empty
C
And there ain't no way of knowing
G
Where all this time's a-going
C Em
Sifting away somewhere between
Am D G C Em
A flickering dream and fading memories
Outro:
D G C Em D G
A flickering, fading dream
