[Verse 1]
E              Am
The time has come for you
                 E
To make up your own mind (mind)
E                 Am
Stop looking for the answers
                   E
That you'll never find
E              Am
Save all your tears for when you
               E
Really need to cry
E                     Am
Don't wish your life away
E                 A         E
Just spread your wings and fly

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
Time waits for no one
A
It's never what it seems
F#m
Stop waiting for tomorrow
A                      B
Stop living in your dreams

[Chorus]
C#m
This life fading away
                          E
This life ticking like a time bomb
          D#m
Ready to blow your tortured mind
C#m
I know it's wasting away
                           E
We don't plan for when it goes wrong
                  G#m
The time that we lose
                    E
We will never find time

[Verse 2]
E
Can't hide the clock
Am                            E
When every line shows on your face (face)
E
So take it slow
Am                      E
You'll never win the human race

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
Time waits for no one
A
It's never what it seems
F#m
Stop waiting for tomorrow
A                      B
Stop living in your dreams

[Chorus]
C#m
This life fading away
                          E
This life ticking like a time bomb
          D#m
Ready to blow your tortured mind
C#m
I know it's wasting away
                           E
We don't plan for when it goes wrong
                  G#m
The time that we lose
                    E
We will never find time

[Refrain]
A                F#             A
Just live every moment of each day
               B                     C#m
Cause death is the price we all must pay

[Chorus]
C#m
This life fading away
                          E
This life ticking like a time bomb
          D#m
Ready to blow your tortured mind
C#m
I know it's wasting away
                           E
We don't plan for when it goes wrong
                  G#m
The time that we lose
                    E
We will never find time

[Chorus]
C#m
This life fading away
                          E
This life ticking like a time bomb
          D#m
Ready to blow your tortured mind
C#m
I know it's wasting away
                           E
We don't plan for when it goes wrong
                  G#m
The time that we lose
                    E
We will never find time
