E5                       A5
Time you make me travel always
                      F#5
And wont give me back those days
                    E5
That I had loved before
                     B5
I'm knockin' on your door
                    A5
I'm pleading on the shore

Chorus:
A5
Days I'm weary
            E5                B5
And there's some days I feel strong
A5
There's days I'm feeling maybe
E5            B5
Do I still belong

You stole all my childhood

Then took my boyhood

Now take my manhood

Time, don't take me while I'm sleeping
                   F#5
Don't carry me out weeping
                     E5
'cause I'm afraid to go
                     B5
I'm knocking on your door
                   A5
To leave me on the shore

Chorus, Bridge
