        Am                                       D7
I must have aged twenty years in the last seven days
 Am                                D7/F#
Living on emotion, disbelieve and rage
  Am                                       D7
I found out the hard way life is what you make
     Am                                        D7/F#
Sometimes you gotta learn to give yourself a break

F7
You can go where you want to go
D7
You can know who you want to know
F7
Take a good look inside you'll see
         E7
You can have it all if you just believe

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancing to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways

Accidents can happen and they always do
It only takes a twist of fate to turn on you
I was in the wrong place at just right time
I thought she was a lover not a friend of mine

You can do who you wanna do
You can screw who you want to screw
In the end it's the fantasy
But not reality
That will set you free

Accidents can happen and they always do
It only takes a twist of fate to turn on you
I was in the wrong place at just right time
I thought she was a lover not a friend of mine

G#           A#
Once it's inside of me
             C7
It's like a symphony,  it's like a symphony
G#                A#7
On a cloud and I can't come down
      F                    E7
It's like a dream then you come around

You can go where you wanna go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all if you just believe

Accidents can happen and they always do
It only takes a twist of fate to turn on you
I was in the wrong place at just right time
I thought she was a lover not a friend of mine

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancing to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious
Time moves in mysterious
Time moves in mysterious ways
