What a beautiful song. 
Originally played on a piano with big string arrangement.
If you like key changes, this has not one, but two!!

Intro

G  C  G  C  G/B  Am7  G  C


Verse 1
-------

G            Am
Somewhere in daydreams 
    Bm7              C
The things you won't find
            G             D
Rain hiding tears without traces
G           Am
I know that deep down 
   Bm7       C
No reason or rhyme
         G            D     /Eb
Even the smile on our faces 


Chorus 1
--------

Em           D
Time goes so slowly
C         Bm7
Day after day
Bb        Am   D 
Time goes love grows
G        Am           Bm7            C
Only the fears as you go through the years
        Am           D    /Eb   Em   A
Til the last sand of time blows away
    Am           D            G   
The last sand of time blows a-way


Verse 2
-------

A               Bm
Locked up with freedom 
    C#m7          D
You don't want at all
                   A         E
In crowds there is no-one to turn to
A                Bm
Down when you're high
     C#m7         D 
Is a long way to fall
            A                  E             /F
And all the mistakes you won't learn through


Chorus 2
--------

F#m         E
Time is for ever 
    D          A
And no-one can say

C          Bm   E 
Time shows love goes
A        Bm           C#m7           D
Only the fears as you go through the years
        Bm           E    /F      F#m   B
Til the last sand of time blows a-way
    Bm               E            A   
Til the last sand of time blows a-way

Time shows love goes
B        C#m             Ebm7        E
Only the fears as you go through the years
        C#m          F#   /G      Abm   C#
Til the last sand of time blows away
        C#m          F#         Bm
Til the last sand of time blows away
