C               G
Running out of time
              F
The train is passing by
     C           E
You missed your ride
Am                 G                   F
Don't you wonder why this happens to you
C      E      F   G
every single time?

Chorus:
  C                                G
Check your watch, you're gonna be late
                      F
This is an important day so I'll get out
                 C
of your way and leave you with your
                    E
sketchbook this is gonna be great
C            G
Be careful dear, don't need a map
        F                            Fm
'Cause boy, you'll know when you've joined
the ghosts

C              G
This coat won't last forever
F              Fm
Build a wall around my brain and
C             G               F
Cover my bones with ice and snow,
             Fm
leave me to crystallize

C                    G
Time goes on, little angel
F                    Fm
Time goes on, little angel

Time goes on, little angel
F                    Fm
Time goes on, little angel
C                    G
Time goes on, little angel
F                    Fm
Time goes on, little angel
C                    G
Time goes on, little angel
F                    Fm
Time goes on, little angel
