Am  C  F  C
Am  C  F  C

[Verse 1]
Am        C       F
 Couldn't beat 'em..
         C
 so you joined 'em
Am        C    F          C
 Wanted freedom..and got boredom
Am            C    F
 They wanted you to..
        C       Dm
 stay where you are
Am      G      F     C
 Their game had..no meaning
Am          G       F         C
 You found fame and..it was fleeting
Am      G      F     C      Dm
 You became someone else's star
F                   C
..Now all your memories
      G         F
feel more like films
                   C
You put 'em on to see
       G          F
which ones still kill
                   C
You wonder why the bad
      G        Dm
ones paid the bills

[Chorus]
C/E      F   C       Am  Em
All the time, every night..
                 F
You say another prayer
              C
there's a heaven
                Am
I say it's anywhere,
             Em
you're forgiven

All the tim?,

I think it's time

 Took a drive with..the whole family
Am              G    F        C
 That you've decided..was so happy
Am             G       F
 But you were silent, sitting in
      C              Dm
 the backseat of the car
Am         G    F       C
 And time passes..too slowly
Am           G
 And all it wants,
         F       C
 you’re so much older
Am       G    F
 Makin' wishes..
                    Dm
 on someone else's star

You say another prayer
              C
there's a heaven
                Am
I say it's anywhere,
             Em
you're forgiven
         F  C                F C
All the time, I think it's time
