There's a [Dm]planet [G]spinning [A]slowly
We [Cm]call [G]it ours
Any [Baug]time, an[B]y [Em]day[D][G]

The young move to [A]the center
The [Cm]mo m and dad, th[G]e frame

[Am]You [A]and I still play[C]ing for time[G]

[Verse 8]
One by [Em]one the voices si[C]lenced
For they [G]know that time will [D]tell
It's [Em]time that wears [C]the crown

[Verse 9]
[Em]Looking for a flicker[C]
in the [G]face of the [D]clock
[Em]Hidden in the mountain[C],
in the [G]body of the [D]rock
[Em]No one seems to notice[C] or
to [G]feel the aftershock
[Asus4]They're all too busy play[C]ing for
[G]time[Asus4]
[A]Everybody's [C]playing for [G]time
[Asus4]You and I still p[A]laying fo[C]r time
