Em           D          C
I start counting the leaves
Em           D     C
While everybody's behind
Em           D          C
I'm waiting here for the meek
Em           D          C
They will inherit this time
Am               Bm
And everybody's laughing
          C
When you say you're gonna rise above
Am                 Bm
And there's no use asking
          C                        G     D C
When you pray that all you need is love


[Chorus]
                         D C
It doesn't matter to me
                             D C
Well, does it matter to you
                                 D C
They didn't give you much space

They didn't give you much time
         Em     D    C
In this golden age

[Instrumental]
Em D C x4


[Verse]
Em      D         C
Too much has been told
Em           D     C
And too much has been said
Em           D          C
But you'll never get old
Em           D          C
When everybody's dead
Am               Bm
And all the children are laughing
          C
When you say you're gonna rise above
Am                 Bm
And there's no use asking
          C                        G     D C
When you've got memories to dwell upon


[Chorus]
                         D C
It doesn't matter to me
                             D C
Well, does it matter to you
                                 D C
They didn't give you much space

They didn't give you much time
         Em     D    C
In this golden age

                                 D C
I didn't lose my face

I didn't trace my time
         Em     D    C
In your golden age
