Chords with lyrics
This is the riff that plays during the intro, and the break between the chorus and verse 2 (for this
break, just play the first line).
Listen out to the song for timing, but it's basically just on the offbeat.

Intro
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
Verse 1
D MajorD A augmentedA
In the sweet embrace of twilight
B minorBm G+G
Just before the night time came
D MajorD A augmentedA
All her children in the front yard
B minorBm G+G
There was laughter on the breeze
D MajorD A augmentedA
Then a call came from her father
B minorBm G+G
In his house halfway 'cross town
D MajorD A augmentedA
He said "Love, I hate to tell you,
G+G D MajorD D MajorD
But your mother, she's gone now."
Chorus
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G
Verse 2
D MajorD A augmentedA
So she tries to tell her husband
B minorBm G+G
But she cannnot make a sound
D MajorD A augmentedA
And he hears through all the silence
B minorBm G+G
So before she hits the ground
D MajorD A augmentedA
He says "Baby, are you with me "
B minorBm G+G
And she opens up her eyes
D MajorD A augmentedA
And she says "I lost my mother,"
G+G D MajorD
And a piece of her heart dies
Chorus
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
B minorBm D MajorD G+G G+G
I am trapped and wondering why ...
Bridge
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G x 4
G+G
Verse 3
D MajorD A augmentedA
Now it's late and she is restless
B minorBm G+G
All her girls are tucked in bed
D MajorD A augmentedA
She is searching for a meaning
B minorBm G+G
When all words feel meaningless
D MajorD A augmentedA
And the hardest part of losing
B minorBm G+G
Is the memory of the win
D MajorD A augmentedA
And the hardest part of letting go
G+G D MajorD
Is when you know you never can
D MajorD A augmentedA
Yeah, the hardest part of letting go
G+G D MajorD D MajorD
Is when you know you never can
Chorus
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And time, moving quickly before our eyes
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
Oh why do these moments seem to fly?
B minorBm D MajorD G+G
I am trapped and wondering why ...
B minorBm D MajorD G+G G+G
Moving quickly before our eyes
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm G+G x2
D MajorD
