[Intro]
Em  Em7 Em  D  Dsus4 D
Em  Em7 Em  D  Dsus4 D
Em  Em7 Em  D  Dsus4 D
Em  Em7 Em  D  Dsus4 D
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em
Like ghosts on open windows,
G                     D Dsus4 D
The curtains rise and fall,
Am                             D7
The past is a foreign country,
                       Em  Em7 Em  D  Dsus4 D
At the dark end of the hall.
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em
And the morning is an offering,
G                     D Dsus4 D
To the shelter of the day,
Am                       D7
But the violent come and,
              Em  Em7 Em  D  Dsus4 D
They bury it away ay  ay  ay.
 
 
[Chorus 1]
G                   D
Time goes by at the speed of life,
 
 
Am                      C
Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night,
G                           D
Faster than the skin breaks on the edge of a knife,
       A/C#              C
And we just go o o o o o on,
                Em
At the speed of life.
 
 
[Interlude]
Em  D Dsus4 D
Em Em7 Em D Dsus4 D
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em
Like questions begging answers,
G                   D  Dsus4 D
The stars appear at night,
Am                              D7
What's it mean to love somebody,
                      Em  Em7 Em  D  Dsus4 D
What's it mean to be alive.
 
 
[Bridge]
A/C#
I heard a little girl laughing,
C
At her first sight of snow,
G/B
Saw an old man dying,
B7
In a room he didn't know.
 
 
[Verse 4]
Em                                    Em7 Em
While the world turns through the ages,
G                    D  Dsus4 D
It's a most peculiar ride,
Am                        D7
Holding on to one another,
                        Em  Em7 Em  Dsus4 D
Moving at the speed of life.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
G                    D
We just go on at the speed of life,
Am                     C
A family on the midway, in the carnival lights,
G                              D
Moving in a circle through the sounds and the sights,
       A/C#
And it all goes by,
 C              Em
At the speed of life.

[Outro]
G                   D
Time goes by at the speed of life,
A                        C
Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night,
G
Faster than the skin breaks, baby,
D
On the edge of a knife,
       A/C#           C
And we just go on and on ,
                Em Em7 Em D Dsus4 D

Em            D
On and on and on,
Em            D
On and on and on and on,
Em            D
On and on and on,
Em            D
On and on and on and on,

On and on and on and on,
N.C.
On and on and on.
