G#             F#             G#
Passing time brings a wiser mind
G#     F#
I see some of the things I never
       G#        A#
Never saw before

Chorus:
      C#
Goin' on
 A#
Goin' around
      C#
Going down

Time has taken a toll on me
Now I see the light
Time has taken the soul of me
Through my darkest night, goin' on

Chorus:
Goin' on
On and on and on and on
Goin' down

D#                    C#
See the man with the broken heart
D#               C#
Walkin' in the street
D#                    C#
See the girl with the red dress on
            D#                  C#
You don't know what she done to me

Time has taken it's toll on me
Now I'm a wiser man
Time has taken the soul of me
Now I see the light

A#
The light
The look
The light
To the look
To the light
To the light
