Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Fade in]
[C][F][C][F]
[Am][Am][F][F]
[C][F][C][F]
[Am][Am][F][F]

[Verse 1]
There were [C]moments of dreams
I was offered to [F]save
I lived [C]less like a workhorse
More like a [F]slave
I thought that [Am]one quick moment
That was noble or brave
Would be [F]worth the most of my life

[Verse 2]
So I [C]pointed my fingers
And shouted few quotes I [F]knew
As if [C]something that's written
Should be taken as [F]true
But every [Am]path I had taken
And conclusion I drew
Would put [F]truth back under the knife

[Pre-chorus 1]
And now the [Dm]only piece of advice
that continues to help to [G]help
Is anyone that's [Am]making anything [G]new
only breaks something [F]else

[Chorus 1]
[C]When [F]my time [C]comes,
[F]Oh [Am]oh oh o[F]h
[C]When [F]my time [C]comes,
[F]Oh [Am]oh oh o[F]h

[Verse 3]
So I [C]took what I wanted
And put it out of my [F]reach
I wanted to [C]pay for my successes
With all my de[F]feats
And if [Am]Heaven was all
That was promised to me
Why [F]don't I pray for death?

[Verse 4]
Now it [C]seems like the unravelling
Started too [F]soon
Now I'm [C]sleeping in hallways
And I'm drinking per[F]fume
And I'm [Am]speaking to mirrors,
And I'm howling at moons,
While the [F]worse and the
Worse that it gets

[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh you can [Dm]judge the whole world on
the sparkle that you think it [G]lacks
Yes, you can [Am]stare into the a[G]byss
but it's starin' right [F]back

[Chorus 2]
[C]When [F]my time [C]comes,
[F]Oh [Am]oh oh o[F]h
[C]When [F]my time [C]comes,
[F]Oh [Am]oh oh o[F]h

[Solo 1]
[C][F][C][F]
[Am][Am][F][F]
[C][F][C][F]
[Am][Am][F][F]

[Pre-chorus 3]
Well, you can [Dm]judge the whole world on
the sparkle that you think it [G]lacks
Yes, you can [Am]stare into the a[G]byss
but it's starin' right [F]back

[Chorus 3]
When my time comes,
Oh [Am]oh oh o[F]h
[C]When [F]my time [C]comes,
[F]Oh [Am]oh oh o[F]h
[C]When [F]my time [C]comes,
[F]Oh [Am]oh oh o[F]h
