Borrowed Time Chords

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]
 
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
D               E              F#m
What was lent you can never earn
D               E              F#m
What was lent you can never earn
D               E              F#m
What was lent you can never earn
