  			C7                   G7 
Time grows older, my beholder 
C7                               G7 
Your eyes are turning into black cold 
C7 
Your lips are leaking words 
G7 
I never thought Iâ``ve heard 
D 
Something I would never call my own 

C7                               G7 
Thereâ``s color shedding from your skin 
C7 
From the shadow of your face 
G7 
I know another end begins 
C7                           G7 
You try to start a life many miles away from mine 
D 
And I try my best to stay kind 

G7                                    C7 
Youâ``re my blood and bones and thereâ``s nothing I can do 
G7                                     D 
You pick me up and knock me down but I still look up to you 
C7 
The color of your skin is changed 
G7 
Your eyes will never look the same 
C7 
and heâ``ll grows thicker every day 
G7                                   C7 
This doesnâ``t mean Iâ``m happy with the life you choose 
G7                                            D 
One of these day sheâ``s leaving here and never gonna see you 

C7 
You just wish youâ``d listening 
G7 
To the life that sheâ``s living 
C7                         D 
Older and like you used to do 
           G7                      C7 
Oh to that childâ``s heart you never knew
