be[Em]hind.
[F]Suit[*G]case of [Em]memo[*F]ries. [F]Time [*G]after

[Riff]Some times you picture me, I'm walking too far ahead.
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said.

Then [F]you [*G]say,"[Em]Go [*F]slow,"[F]I [*G]fall


be[Em]hind.
[F]The [*G]second [Em]hand un[*F]winds.

If you're [G]lost, you can look and you [Am7]will find me


[Fadd9]time [*G]after [*C]time.
If you [G]fall i will catch you, i'll [Am7]be waiting
[Fadd9]Time [*G]after [*C]time. x2

SOLO OVER INTRO [F | G | Em | F] x2

[Riff]After my picture fades and darkness has turned to grey,


Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm okay.

[F]Sec[*G]rets [Em]stol[*F]en [F]from [*G]deep ins[Em]ide,


[F]The [*G]drum beats [Em]out of [*F]time.

If you're [G]lost, you can look and you [Am7]will find me


[Fadd9]time [*G]after [*C]time.
If you [G]fall i will catch you, i'll [Am7]be waiting
[Fadd9]Time [*G]after [*C]time.
