VERSE 1
Am
Well He hasn't always been around  *Riff 2*
Am
And He won't always be.  *Riff 2*
Dm                      Em
But He's on the move at this moment
          F        G   E/G#  Am
Measuring life for you and   me.  *Riff 2*
 
 
VERSE 2
Am
I fear we all submit to him  *Riff 2*
Am
Existing anxiously  *Riff 2*
Dm            Em               F
And no one is able to turn him off
           G        E/G#      Am
Except the Lord who holds the key.  *Riff 3*
 
 
CHORUS
G        Am   G     Am
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,
    F             Am
Too late for apologies.
    F                    C Am/B
Too late to forgive your brother,
    Am          G       F
Too late to get on your knees.
G        Am   G     Am
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,
    F                   Am
Too late to help the needy
    F                 C           Am7/B
And worst of all it's too late to turn
         Am    G    F
You must face eternity.
 
 
            Am            F              Am
His name is Time and he's coming to an end.
            F C Am G              Am
His name is Ti--me where will you be my friend?
            Am            F              Am
His name is Time and he's coming to an end.
            F C Am G              Am
His name is Ti--me where will you be my friend?

VERSE 3
Am
Most people think he'll never stop  *Riff 2*
Am
He'll go on perpetually  *Riff 2*
Dm                  Em
But old man time is running out
          F      G  E/G# Am
And he'll cease eventual-ly.     *Riff 3*

Too late to get on your knees.
G        Am   G     Am
When the Lord stops him, that'll be it,

And worst of all it's too late to turn
         Am    G    F
You must face eternity.
 
 
[ENDING INSTRUMENTAL]
On the record recording, for the first half of the ending instrumental, the chords stay pretty much in Am7;
the second half alternates between Am7 & Emadd9 (024000).
 
If you are skipping the instrumental part after the last Chorus, you can play the *Riff 1 + Riff 2* 3 times,
then finish with *Riff 3*.
