Verse 1:
D MajorD
Time is able to discern when long-term love has had its turn
G+G
And only then, we'll drop the curtain, let the credits start to roll
D MajorD
Her aura so imposing, had me in your bed and clothing
G+G
Luke-warm caffeine in the morning
D MajorD
Can your brother take me home?
When we were pulling strings to keep her around
Those were the days I didn't let it down
G+G
Though love will run deep like hurt runs out

Time held us in her arms, she loved us hard

Verse 2:
D MajorD
Time met us in December, made your name one to remember
G+G
Now though only here to cool the embers
She never will cease to console us
D MajorD
So as you look back to where we began
Loosening your grip a little on her hand
G+G
Keep it in mind, we owe her more
Than we could ever make apparent

(Time) Barely on our hands, still loved us hard

Time barely on our hands
Still loved us hard, her care was constant

And was nobody's but ours

May part of me live on in you

Let your heart bleed and be an open wound

And as part of you lives on in me

I'm holding, broken to the same degree

Knowing time will mend me
