Only If We Learn

Bbm
   Is it giving up or giving in?
                          F#     Ebm               Bbm
Living our lives left unattended     is a cardinal sin,

We can trace it back thought the years,
                               F#     Ab                 Bbm
We could pin every hope on the future    and conceal the tears,
               Ab
But we are the ones to blame,


F#
   Never again, we cry
       Ebm                  Ab                   Bbm
Please open our eyes to the world we're setting alight,
        Ab               F#
Pray to God to put it to right


                                            Ab
Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself,
           Bbm                  F#
Time after time (as the hands unwind)

Minutes and hours pass,
                        Ab                       Bbm                               F#
We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime (Time will be the end of us all)
                        Bbm    Db     Ab    Ebm
Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?
F#   Ab
   I guess we'll never know.


Bbm
   When they take the sun out from the sky
                                 F#
will we complain that there's no light to shed
   Ebm                Bbm
on what we've done to ourselves?

I've got a reason to believe
                               Ab
Something can save us from our reprieve,
    Ebm        Bbm
But only if we learn
     Ab               Ebm
from pages that we've turned,
             Db
Get ready to sink or swim
      Ebm                   Bbm      Db    F#
we're dancing on land-mines treading water again,


                                            Ab
Time will wait for no one but itself, but itself,
           Bbm                  F#
Time after time (as the hands unwind)

Minutes and hours pass,
                        Ab                       Bbm                               F#
We find ourselves, find ourselves committing the crime (Time will be the end of us all)
                        Bbm    Db     Ab    Ebm
Is the life we treasure poured out in equal measures?
      Ebm
Equal measures?


Bbm Db Ab Ebm

(just drums)
Push it under the carpet,
And put it out from your sight,

Bbm
Sweep it under the carpet,

Pray that everything is
  Db   Ab  Bbm   F#   Bbm
Alri - i - ight,
  Db   Bbm   F#   Ab
Alri - ight,
  Bbm
Alright,
                   F#
Time never ends it carries on
Ebm            Ab
ticking away inside this time bomb,
Bbm                             F#   Ab
Over and over again until we're go - one,
Bbm                    Bbm
   Time will be on our side,
