Em                   D                         A
If I give you all I have, will you share your song?
Em                D                    A
Do you ever feel sad on the long ride home?
Em              D                      A
Do you feel at times that you don't belong?

Chorus:
Em
Time
                         Bm
Another season turns the page
                     A
Living in a kind of dark age
           C
Could you light the way?
Em
Life
                      Bm
Does the feeling ever die?
                          A
Can you understand how strange it is
    C
To be alive?

Seen centuries come and go, is the future like the past?
Do we shine a temporary glow, or are we built to last?
Do you ever feel at times like it's all too fast?

Chorus:
Time
Another season turns the page
Living in a kind of dark age
Could you light the way?
Lie
Does the feeling ever die?
Can you understand how strange it is
To be alive?
To be alive

If I give you all I have, will you share your song?
