[Verse 1]
C                   D                 Em
Time and time again I knew what I was doing and
C                   D                  Em
Time and time again I just made things worse
C                    Am
It seems you see the most of what is really true when
Em                        B
You're stepping into your hearse
 
[Chorus]
G                     A                  C
Only time can write a song that's really really real
G                        A                       C
The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels
G                          A              C      D
And know he only knows as much as time to him re-veals

[Verse 2]
C                        D                Em
And when I want to write a song that says it all at once
C                   D            Em
Like time sublimely silences the whys
C                    Am
I know that if I try I'm going to take a fall at once
Em                            B
And splatter there between my lies
 
[Chorus]
G                     A                  C
And only time can write a song that's really really real
G                        A                       C
The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels
G                          A              C      D
And know he only knows as much as time to him re-veals

[Verse 3]
C                        D                Em
We are made of it and if we give submission
C                   D            Em
Among our chances there's a chance we can choose
C                    Am
And if we take it, by uncertainty's permission
Em                      B
Then it's impossible to lose
 
[Chorus]
G                     A                  C
Only time can write a song that's really really real
G                        A                       C
The best a man can do is say the way its playing feels
G                          A              C      D
And know he only knows as much as time to him re-veals
