A
I have loved you and lost you, now there's no one to talk to
A                                 D
And it just don't sit right on my mind
D                         A
The one thing I look for, hope for and work for
         E                   A
Could be gone in a matter of time


Chorus:
    E                D             A
The old hands on the clock move so slow
         A                         E
When I'm waitin' for good times to come
       D 
And it just seems so wrong, how they rushed on and on
         A               E       A     D     E                   A    D A E A
'Til the good times were finally gone, gone, gone in a matter of time

If the walls that surround you fall down around you
The blame won't be any of mine
And if my gain is any, the pain of your memory
Will be gone in a matter of time

Chorus
