Intro - 1. Dsus2/F#, Dm/F, E 2.  Dsus2/F#, F, E Also, remember the pauses; it's not entirely in 12/8. There's a rest beat in the A-section, so it's also in 15/8. D/F# Asus2/G# (15/8) The sands of time

E5 F#m/C# Are drifting sky D/F# Asus2/G# Fragments of E5 F#m/C# A life gone by D/F# (12/8) The lands of time

E Are drawing near F#m/C# G Hear me Whisper G Amaj7/G# In your ear (C#, F#, G, B) All our struggles D Feel meant to last               (G#, A, D) Amaj7(#11)/G# Until they drift into the past D/F# Amsus2/G# (15/8) The strands of time D E5 Haunt every thought

D/F# Pangs of guilt D6 E5 For what we've wrought D/F# (12/8) The lands of time E Keep drawing near; F#m/C# G Tear my mask off                 Amaj7/G# Face my fears


(C#, F#, G, B) I tried to provide you D The best life I could D (G#, A, D) But the climate   Asus2                       Emaj7/G# Was darker than I understood

D/F# Asus2/G# (15/8) The sands of time

E5 F#m/C# Are drifting by D/F# Asus2/G# Fragments of E5 F#m/C# A lifeless sky.
