Intro: C Bm Dm C F 

C    G           C F  
I've been thinking of what could have been 
C    G           C F 
I've been thinking of the life that we're living now 
C    G          C F 
I've been waiting for the sign to go away 
C    G          C F 
I've been holding back the moment that I leave this place 
Am                          G                        Dm                  F 
We're up on a roll and it's taking its toll but it's too late to stop now 


C    G F 
Again, here comes the rain 
C         G                   F 
I say, it's the price that we pay for us 
D                Dm    E                       Em            Am              
So tick with the times I'll keep writing these rhymes in the hope that I'll 
G            F 
see you back home 
C         G                   F 
I say, it's the price that we pay for us 

C Bm Dm G F 

C    G           C F 
Hoping that you'll be around when I get home 
C    G           C F 
Hoping that you'll see the reason that I'm gone 
C    G           C F 
Holding down this thing ain't easy at the best of times 
C    G           C F 
Time is just like string 'cause when it's here it's just passing by 

Am                             G                       D       Dm     F 
It's taking its toll but we're both in control so just keep by my side 


C    G F 
Again, here comes the rain 
C         G                   F 
I say, it's the price that we pay for us 
D                Dm    E                       Em            Am              
So tick with the times I'll keep writing these rhymes in the hope that I'll 
G            F 
see you back home 
C         G                   F 
I say, it's the price that we pay for us 


Am G D F Am C D F# F 


   Am              C G     F 
So forgive me when I leave once again 
Am                     C              D                         F 
We'll get through this somehow in the end, in the end, in the end 


C   G             Em     F 
Again, here comes the rain 
C         G                   F 
I say, it's the price that we pay for us 
D                Dm    E                       Em            Am              
So tick with the times I'll keep writing these rhymes in the hope that I'll 
G            F 
see you back home 
C         G                   F
