           C         G/B
there's a moment in time
          Am          G  F
and it's stuck in my mind
              G
way back when we were just kids
          C             G/B
cuz your eyes told the tale
      Am         G    F
of an act of betrayal
             G
i knew that somebody did

F            G
oh waves of time
         C     G/B      Am            G
seem to wash away the scenes of our crimes
     F             G
for you this never ends

Chorus:
          C
can you stay strong
        Am
can you go on
Dm                     F G
Kristy are you doing okay
             C
a rose that won't bloom
        Am
winters kept you
       Dm
don't waste your whole life trying
    F                 G      C F G
to get back what was taken away

Though the marks on your dress
had been neatly repressed
I knew that something was wrong
And I should've spoke out, and I'm so sorry now
I didn't know, ’cause we were so young

Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on innocence left behind
It never goes away

Chorus:
Can you stay strong? Can you go on?
Kristy, are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom, winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away

Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on innocence left behind
It never goes away
It never goes away

Chorus:
Can you stay strong? Can you go on?
Kristy, are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom, winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away
