Hourglass

[Gsus2]Little boy

[E7sus4/G]When you speak [Gmaj9]I can't help but [Gm7b13]kiss your cheeks

I [Cadd9]love the way you grab my

hands and [A7sus4]tell me all about your plans

[Gsus2]Rockets high

[E7sus4/G]Comets fly

[Gmaj9]You and I could [Gm7b13]hitch a ride

And [Cadd9]fly away to Neverland and [A7sus4]give our best to Peter Pan

 

When you [Cadd9]reach for the stars, don't for[Am9]get who you are

And please don't [Em9]turn around and grow up way to [Cadd9]fast

See the [Cadd9]sand in my grasp, from the [Am9]first to the last

Every [Em9]grain becomes a memory of the [Cadd9]past

Oh, life is an hour[Cadd9]glass, [Dsus2]life is an hour[Gsus2]glass

 

[Gsus2]Stories read, [E7sus4/G]prayers said

[Gmaj9]Close your eyes sleepy [Gm7b13]head

While [Cadd9]angels linger in your dreams

and [A7sus4]hold you in their feathered wings

[Gsus2]Just like you, [E7sus4/G]I was small, [Gmaj9]not that long ago at [Gm7b13]all

I [Cadd9]wish you all the happiness,

and [A7sus4]god gives freely if you ask

 

When you [Cadd9]reach for the stars, don't for[Am9]get who you are

And please don't [Em9]turn around and grow up way to [Cadd9]fast

See the [Cadd9]sand in my grasp, from the [Am9]first to the last

Every [Em9]grain becomes a memory of the [Cadd9]past

Oh, life is an hour[Cadd9]glass,

[Dsus2]life is an hour[Cadd9]glass

[Dsus2]life is an hour[Gsus2]glass
