[Verse 1]
Em Em G D/F#
The bells again... someone has died
Em Em G D/F#
The bells of the end toll to remind
Am C Em Em
that life's but a race against time
[Verse 2]
Em Em G D/F#
At your back you'll always hear
Em Em G D/F#
The chariot of time hurrying near
D C G G
The faster you run the closer it comes
D C G Am
A pursuer you can not outrun
[Chorus]
Em Am
Hear these words I say:
C D
Make the most out of your day
Em Am
For brief is the light on our way
G D/F#
on this momentary trail
Em Am
Hear these words, awake:
C D
Make the most out of your day
Em Am
For brief is the time, so brief is the time
G D/F# D/F# C C
that we're allowed to stay...
[Verse 3]
Em Em G D/F#
The bells again... whose turn this time?
Em Em G D/F#
To reach the end, yours or mine?
D C G G
Each funeral just makes us realize
D C G Am
that life's but a series of goodbyes
[Chorus]
Em Am
Hear these words I say:
C D
Make the most out of your day
Em Am
For brief is the light on our way
G D/F# D/F#
on this momentary trail (...too late)
[Solo]

[Chorus]
Em Am
Hear these words I say:
C D
Make the most out of your day
Em Am
For brief is the light on our way
G D/F#
on this momentary trail
Em Am
Hear these words, awake:
C D
Make the most out of your day
Em Am
For brief is the time, so brief is the time
G D/F# D/F#
that we're allowed to stay...
[Outro]
C C Em
Life passes by, melts away like snow in the spring
Em C Am Em D/F#
We all are blind to the running of time
C C Em Em
C Am Em
