Am
I woke the other day
C
And saw my world has changed
F                       G
The past is over but tomorrow's wishful thinking
Am
I can't hold onto what's been done (woah)
C
I can't grab onto what's to come (woah)
F                              G
And I'm just wishing I could stop, but

Chorus:
          Am
Life goes on
        C
Come of age
           F
Can't hold on
          G
Turn the page
           Am
Time rolls on
            C
Wipe these eyes
           F
Yesterday laughs
           G
Tomorrow cries

Memories are bittersweet
The good times we can't repeat
Those days are gone and we can never get them back
Now we must move ahead
Despite our fear and dread
We're all just wishing we could stop, but

Chorus

With all our joys and fears
Wrapped in forgotten years
The past is laughing as today just slips away
Time tears down what we've made
And sets another stage
And I'm just wishing we could stop

Chorus

Time rolls on
