[Intro 1]

[Fm][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Hey...
[Fm]Hey.[C]..
[Fm][C]
I'm sitting in the cell of this hourglass.
My [Fm]time slips away,
[C]stolen too fast.
Everyday,
everyday I'm breathing it in.
The pres[F]sure of [Fm]my life,
[C]the pressure within.
Saying working hard is all I know,
But the [F]weight of this sand
is [G]making me slow.
If [C]I think of all the time I've lost,
Then [Fm]the tax[F]man won
and I [G]pay the cost.

[Verse 2]
Give [F]me time, give me time.
'Cause [D]I'm stuck in this
world's hour[C]glass.
Give [Fm]me time, [F]give me time.
This [D]sand is flowing too fast.
[C]

[Verse 3]
[Fm]Hey...[C]
[Fm]Hey...[C]
I'm sitting as the world around
me is calling my name.
[Fm]Every single [C]second, attacking my brain.
Give me time,
she says with a wink in her eye.
[Fm]All I want is your youth; that
[C]old spark inside.
Then wisdom says, Cherish your days.
[Fm]Worry only lets [F]your time [G]slip away.
[C]Push away the thief trying
to steal your gift.
The [Fm]fighter is the one
whose [G]feet are swift.

[Verse 4]
Give me [F]time, give me time.
'Cause [D]I'm stuck in this
world's hour[C]glass.
Give me [Fm]time, [F]give me time.
This [D]sand is flowing too fast.
[C]

[Verse 5]
[Fm]Woh [F]woh oh[G]o. Woh w[C]oh ohoho[Fm].
Give me time, give me [F]time.
'Cause [D]I'm stuck in this
world's hourglass.
[C]

[Verse 6]
[Fm]Hey...[C]
[Fm]Hey...[C]
Give me time,
give me time. [Fm]All I want i[F]s [G]time.
