Dm               G7
Take a look and see
C                Am
What's become of me
Dm               G7       C Am
Remember how it used to be
F                 G7
People that we'd meet
C                     Am
Were falling at your feet
F               G     Am
You didn't eve see it

Chorus:
 F                   C
Time marches on ahead enough said
G7                       Am
There's only one way through it
F                    C
Time marches on ahead one day we'll see it
G7
How  there's a fine blue line
           F       C G Am
Running through it

We read each other’s books,
we gave each other looks
Like we couldn’t trust ourselves
and we knew it
So tell me where you’ve been and
I’ll show you where you’re going
You can shout, you can scream,
your way through it

Chorus:
Time races on ahead, enough said
That’s just the way we blew it
Time marches on ahead, one day you’ll see it
Love is the fine blue line running through it,
running through it
