Time by Ben Folds From Songs for Silverman


here's the riff he plays, but the root notes differ a little bit from the chords 
so watch out if you two guitarists playing both at the same time.

e|-----------------------------------|
B|--7-7-7----------------------------|
G|--------6-6-6-6-7-7-7-7------------|
D|------------------------5-4-5-4-0--|
A|--5-5-5----------------------------|
E|--------3-3-3-3-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5--|

here's the chords, if you choose to play them during the verse instead of that riff.

D  G  Bm  G x2

D     G   Bm   G
Think of me
D  G       Bm      G
Anyway you want
D  G     Bm     G
I can be
    D       G         Bm    G
The problem if that's easier
D  G      Bm         G
In your head
D        G       Bm     G
Move the pieces around
D      G    Bm      G
Things I've said
D        G       Bm    G
Turn the memory upside down
D       G        Bm    G
And it makes it better I know
D       G          Bm      G
But sometimes it's hard to swallow

Gmaj7     A
In time I will fade away
Gmaj7     A
In time I won't hear what you say
Gmaj7        A                   D
In time, but time takes time you know

D  G  Bm  G  x2

D    G     Bm     G
Tell your friends
    D      G          Bm        G
The things they wanna hear and see
D     G   Bm      G
Start the drums
D    G           Bm       G
Band against the enemy

Gmaj7       A
And in time I will fade away
Gmaj7     A
In time I won't care what you say
Gmaj7        A                   Dmaj7
In time, but time takes time you know

Dmaj7   E  G
In your head
(G)      Dmaj7    E
Move the pieces round
(E)         G
Things I've said
D                E            G     A
Turn the memory upside down

D        G       Bm      G
It might make it better, I know
    D         G     Bm     G
But sometimes it's hard to swallow

Gmaj7     A
In time I will fade away
Gmaj7     A
In time I won't hear what you say
Gmaj7        A
In time, but time takes time you know
G                   A
Time takes time you know

repeat the  G-A thing 'till it ends
