verse 1 

A                               D 
Unfolding to behold, not to behave 
D              E     A 
Shadows in the cave, phantoms from the fire 
A                                         D 
And though I try to hold what can't be saved 
D        E      A 
I am the slave, time is the master telling me to  
D         E               A 
Measure miles and mark my days 
A                           D         E              A 
Feel each moment slip away, feel each moment slip away 
                     E 
Straight through our fingers 
A 
Though we feel it go away faster 
D                       E 
It come, it come, it come 
A                             D               E 
So no fearing runnin' out, it never can be done 


[Refrão]


A                      D       E 
Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo 
A                      D       E 
Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo 


verse 2 

A                                 D 
So oh we rise and fall upon its way 
D                  E           A 
From cradle to the grave, from before to after 
A                                     D 
And no we never know what we have named 
D                    E      A 
I think that we have tamed, time is the master 
A 
Though we feel it go away faster 
D                       E 
It come, it come, it come 
A                             D               E 
So no fearing runnin' out, it never can be done

Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo

Chorus 
   D       E    A                      D       E

A                      D       E 
Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo 

Telling me to 
D         E               A 
Measure miles and mark my days 
A                           D         E              A 
Feel each moment slip away, feel each moment slip away 
                     E 
Straight through our fingers 
A 
Though we feel it go away faster 
D                       E 
It come, it come, it come 
A                             D               E 
So no fearing runnin' out, it never can be done

Time is the master, ooo ooo ooo
