C

[Verse 1]
                Am
Once you were a young man
            G                    C
Now you are old, you're over the hill
                                       Am
And you can't cross the palm of time's hand
                G                     C
With silver and gold to make him stand still


[Verse 2]
                        Am
Who could have possibly thought
               G                      C
It would go so fast, but it certainly did
                          Am
And now you find yourself caught
                      G                        C
With less future than past, you're no longer a kid


[Bridge]
G                                                 Dm
Once, as a boy, time weighed heavy on your hands
                          G
You couldn't wait to be a man


[Verse 3]
            C                        Am
And now you cry, oh, it's so hard to laugh
                   G                            C
And you can't understand why you can't turn time 'round
                              Am
Your hourglass once had a top-half
                        G                           C
That was filled full of sand, but it's all trickled down
