Hourglass chords by Set It Off

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
F minorFm
When pretending lends a helping hand
     C majorC
We hold it close, so close, and never let it go
F minorFm
Then, the pen begins to write a story
    C majorC
With an end that bends right out of our control


Pre-Chorus:
 F minorFm
How did we get so jaded? I don't know

Was it the white lies feeding our egos?
 E MajorE
I never valuated minutes I burned through
C majorC
Is that just how it goes?
C#C#
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated

You're devastated, sorry to say
C majorC
I can't fix it, is this where I give in?

Chorus:
 F minorFm      C#C#     D#D#
I'm falling through the hourglass
 C minorCm     F minorFm      C#C#    D#D#
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
 C minorCm      F minorFm           D#D#
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
  G#G#      D#D#
Victim to the sands of time
  C#C#           D#D#
Falling through the hourglass
   C minorCm
The hourglass


Verse 2:
 F minorFm
Time is strange, it's ever-flowing
       C majorC
Never going back, it moves, but only in one way
 F minorFm
Turn the page, look back at what you wrote
 C majorC
Do you still feel the same?

I'll bet your mind has changed

Pre-Chorus:
 F minorFm
How did it get so scary? I don't know

Was it the hard life starving our egos
 E minorEm
I never valued minutes I burned through
 C majorC
Is that just how it goes?
 C#C#
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated

You're devastated, sorry to say
C majorC
I can't fix it, is this where I give in?

(Let's go!)


Chorus:
 F minorFm      C#C#     D#D#
I'm falling through the hourglass
 C minorCm     F minorFm      C#C#    D#D#
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
 C minorCm      F minorFm           D#D#
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
  G#G#      D#D#
Victim to the sands of time
  C#C#           D#D#
Falling through the hourglass
   C minorCm
The hourglass

Falling through the hourglass
