Borrowed Time

[Intro]
D E A A/C# F#m E
D E A

[Verse 1]
D
Oh precious life
A
How you loved to lie to me
D
So recklessly fragile
A
So beyond my power to see
D
And yet so demanding
A
By making me believe
D
That I am standing
A
In the way of my own reprieve

[Chorus]
D E F#m
That all our days are numbered
D E F#m
No matter the amount
D E
There's a first and then at last
A A/C# F#m
There is finally the fact
D E F#m
That the numerals just don't count
D E F#m
And all our time is borrowed
D E F#m
No deposit, no return
D E A A/C# F#m
And no promise of tomorrow or the next day
D E F#m
What was lent you can never earn

[Verse 2]
D
If I took care of you
A
And loved you all your days
D
I'd still have to let you go
A
Cause nothing ever stays
D
You taught me to stand
A
And then you left the job to me
D
Now as a man
A
I'm finally forced to see

[Chorus]
