Verse:
         Ab           Cm
I've got tired eyes, a black sky

Making it's home under my lash line

In my life, it flies by
Fm                         Eb
Faster than you could say, "I love you, goodbye"
Ab                  Cm
"It's almost over", you say with a sigh
Fm                               Eb                      Ab
Will our lives be better when we make it to the other side?
