Set It Off - Hourglass Chords

[Verse 1]
Fm
When pretending lends a helping hand
         C
We hold it close, so close, and never let it go
Fm
Then, the pen begins to write a story
        C
With an end that bends right out of our control


[Pre-Chorus]
 Fm
How did we get so jaded? I don't know

Was it the white lies feeding our egos?
 E
I never valuated minutes I burned through
C
Is that just how it goes?
C#
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated

You're devastated, sorry to say
C
I can't fix it, is this where I give in?


[Chorus]
 Fm            C#          D#
I'm falling through the hourglass
  Cm          Fm            C#       D#
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
  Cm           Fm                      D#
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
   G#            D#
Victim to the sands of time
   C#                      D#
Falling through the hourglass
     Cm
The hourglass


[Verse 2]
  Fm
Time is strange, it's ever-flowing
              C
Never going back, it moves, but only in one way
  Fm
Turn the page, look back at what you wrote
 C
Do you still feel the same?

I'll bet your mind has changed


[Pre-Chorus]
  Fm
How did it get so scary? I don't know

Was it the hard life starving our egos
 Em
I never valued minutes I burned through
 C
Is that just how it goes?
  C#
Seconds I wasted, I was fixated

You're devastated, sorry to say
C
I can't fix it, is this where I give in?

(Let's go!)


[Chorus]
 Fm            C#          D#
I'm falling through the hourglass
  Cm          Fm            C#       D#
And I don't think I'll ever make it back
  Cm           Fm                      D#
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
   G#            D#
Victim to the sands of time
   C#                      D#
Falling through the hourglass
     Cm
The hourglass

(The hourglass)


[Bridge]
   C                         Fm
'Cause that's just how it goes
                              Em
'Cause that's just how it goes
         Cm
'Cause that's just how it goes


[Chorus] *stop playing*

I'm falling through the hourglass

And I don't think I'll ever make it back
             Fm                      D#
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb
   G#            D#
Victim to the sands of time
   C#                      D#
Falling through the hourglass
     Cm
(Through the hourglass)

And I don't think I'll ever make it back (Make it back)
  Cm          Fm                      D#
So I throw stones at walls I'll never climb

Victim to the sands of time
   C#                      D#
Falling through the hourglass
     Cm
The hourglass
