Time Stand Still - Rush (from Hold Your Fire)

Transcription by Mario Imaguire ([email protected])

{intro} (play 3 times)

[[C#m]] I turn my back to the wind [[A]] to catch my breath,

Before I start off [[E]] again

Driven whithout a [[B]] moment to spend

[[E]] To pass an evening [[B]] with a [[A]] drink and a friend [[E5]]

[[C#m5]] I let my [[C#m]] skin get too thin, [[A5]] I'd like to pause

No matter what [[E]] I pretend

Like some pilgrim, who [[B5]] learns to transcend,

[[E5]] Learns to live [[B]] as if [[E]] each step [[A]]was the end

{chorus}

[[A5]]Time stand [[E5]]still -- I'm [[C#m]]not looking back

[[B5]]But I want to look around me now

[[A5]]Time stand [[E5]]still -- see [[C#m]]more of the people and the

[[B5]]places theh surround me {intro}now

Time stand still...

[[E]]Freeze this [[C#m]]moment a little bit [[B]]longer

[[A]]Make each sen[[F#m]]sation a little bit [[E]]stronger

[[D]]Experience [[F#m/A]]slips aw[[A]]ay... [[E]]

[[D]]Experience [[F#m/A]]slips aw{intro}...

Time stand still...

[[C#m]]I turn my face to the sun,[[A]]close my eyes,

Let my defen[[E5]]ces down

All those wounds that I [[B]]can't get unwound [[E]] [[B]]

[[C#m]]I let my past go too fast [[A]] no time to pause

If I could [[E5]]slow it all down

Like some captain, whose [[B]]ship runs aground [[E]] [[B]]

I can wait until the [[A]]tide comes around [[B5]]

{chorus}

[[A5]]Time stand [[E5]]still -- I'm [[C#m]]not looking back

[[B5]]But I want to look around me now

[[A5]]Time stand [[E5]]still -- see [[C#m]]more of the people and the

[[B5]]places theh surround me {intro}now

Time stand still...

[[E]]Freeze this [[C#m]]moment a little bit [[B]]longer

[[A]]Make each sen[[F#m]]sation a little bit [[E]]stronger

Make each im[[F#m]]pression a little bit [[B]]stronger

[[A]]Freeze this [[F#m]]motion a little bit [[E]]longer

[[D]]The innocence [[F#m/A]]sli...ps aw[[A]]ay... [[E]]

[[D]]The innocence [[F#m/A]]sli...ps aw{intro}ay...

Time stand still...

[[E5]]I'm [[C#m5]]looking back but

I [[B5]] want to look around me [[A5]]now

see [[C#m5]] more of the people and

the [[B5]]places that surround me {intro} now

Time stand still...

[[E5]]Summer's going fast [[C#m]]nights growing col[[B5]]der

[[A]]Children growing up [[F#m]] old friends growing ol[[B5]]der

[[E]]Freeze this [[C#m]]moment a little bit [[B]]longer

[[A]]Make each sen[[F#m]]sation a little bit [[E]]stronger

[[D]]Experience [[F#m/A]]slips aw[[A]]ay... [[E]]

[[D]]Experience [[F#m/A]]slips aw[[A]]ay... [[E]]

[[D]]The innocence [[F#m/A]]sli...ps away...
