(Capo at the 1st fret)

Intro: D7

Verse 1:
GAnother (320003@1)change of season
Dslipping (xx0232@1)through my life
GI (320003@1)can't recall believing
Dthat (xx0232@1)I'd make it here alive

Verse 2:
GSteady (320003@1)wind is blowing
Dthe (xx0232@1)clouds don't look the same
A (x02220@1)               GYou (320003@1)can't deny a thunder
G (320003@1)                             Awhen (x02220@1)you're living through the rain

Chorus:
Bm (x24432@1)                           GLike (320003@1)the moth dances with the light
D (xx0232@1)                            ASometimes (x02220@1)a shadow burns too bright
Bm (x24432@1)                      GShattered (320003@1)silence in the night
D (xx0232@1)               AYou (x02220@1)wake up, move on
Bm (x24432@1)         GThe (320003@1)7 years gone
D (xx0232@1)              A7 (x02220@1)years gone

Verse 3:
GHung (320003@1)up cold and reeling
DWounded (xx0232@1)deep inside
GCan't (320003@1)find a road to heal in
Dwhen (xx0232@1)you're blinded by your pride

Verse 4:
GThe (320003@1)hourglass is broken
DSand (xx0232@1)is slipping through your hands
A (x02220@1)                           GBy (320003@1)your chasing what's been storing
G (320003@1)                            Achanges (x02220@1)making, making other plans

Chorus:
Bm (x24432@1)                           GLike (320003@1)the moth dances with the light
D (xx0232@1)                            ASometimes (x02220@1)a shadow burns too bright
Bm (x24432@1)                      GShattered (320003@1)silence in the night
D (xx0232@1)               AYou (x02220@1)wake up, move on
Bm (x24432@1)         GThe (320003@1)7 years gone
D (xx0232@1)              A7 (x02220@1)years gone

Times are changed, times that went too fast
tearing moments from the past
While today's singing yesterday's songs
You wake up, move on
The 7 years gone

Interlude: (Riff: B5 C#5 E5 C#5 B5
C#5 B5 C#5)
Time, time,
time, time ticking,
time, time ticking away
That's life
it's all about living
taking it day by day
Blind, blind, leave it behind
Singing a different song
One day, you're waking up
You're seven years
Seven years gone

Chorus:
Like the moth dances with the light
sometimes a shadow that burns too bright
Shattered silence in the night
You wake up, move on

Times have changed, times that were to last
tearing moments from the past
While today's singing yesterday's songs
Growing up, holding on
The 7 years gone

7 years gone
7 years gone
7 years gone
