“Hourglass”
Andrew Horn©

Verse 1
B
Nothing is forever
                      F#m
And good things never last
    E
And learning in the future
                            F#m
Is based on lessons from the past
                 B
Thought we were Gold in the Fire
                    F#m
And we could not be burned
           E
Until you lost your desire
                F#m
And I melted to learn

Pre-Chorus
C#m             E             B         F#m
Thought I could stop you from changing shape
C#m             E               B         F#m
But two people cannot believe on one mans faith

Chorus
B 
And your love is was
F#m
An hourglass
E
What I thought I’d found
F#m
Was too good to last
B
And your love it was
F#m
A promise made
E
But our lock and key
F#m
Held a broken chain
    C#m        E
And now when I see you
       B       F#m
I just don’t understand
 C#m                       E            
All that I needed from you then
                       B          F#m
Has now become all the time on my hands

Verse 2
It was torture to see it coming
As we reached our end of days
The sands of time were falling
From a Pre-Mature Heart Decay
And as I stood in falsehood
In our final hour
I prayed for the roots of a Redwood
But you withered like a flower

Pre-Chorus
And when you finally spoke the words that broke my heart
I couldn’t blame you too much when I knew from the start

That your love, it was...
