D           A        E         F#m
It takes more time than I've ever had,
            D         A
Drains the life from me,
          E        F#m
Makes me want to forget,
    D        A
As young as I was,
       E       F#m
I felt older back then, 
      D     A
More disciplined,
  E          F#m
Stronger and certain, 
    D                          A
But I was scared to death of eternity, 
       E
I was saved by grace, 
     F#m
But destroyed by naivety, 
    D  A       E   A
And I lied to myself, 
     D   A       E      A
And said it was for the best,

         D        A               E    F#m
And now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
      D           A
I've disregarded what I was, 
 E            A 
Now that I'm older, 
     D           A           E        F#m
And I know much more than I did back then, 
         D      A
But the more I learn, 
     E            A
The more I can't understand, 
     D                             A
And I've become content with this life that I lead, 
      E                          A
Where I drink to much and don't believe in much of anything, 
    D  A     E A
And I lie to myself, 
    D    A    E      A
And say it's for the best,

 D
We're moving forward,
    A
But holding ourselves back, 
     E                A 
And we're waiting on something that will never come,

D
We're moving forward,
    A
But holding ourselves back, 
     E                A 
And we're waiting on something that will never come,

D
We're moving forward,
    A
But holding ourselves back, 
     E                A 
And we're waiting on something that will never come,

D
We're moving forward,
    A
But holding ourselves back, 
     E                A 
And we're waiting on something that will never come,

D
We're moving forward,
    A
But holding ourselves back, 
     E                A 
And we're waiting on something that will never come.
