Tuning: standard
This a great song, but with a ton of ghost notes. I threw in everything I heard, so
will probably be a few notes that might seem unnecessary in some parts. Play what sounds
to you
let ring throughout + fingerpick

Older chests reveal themselves
like a crack in the wall,
starting small,
grow with time.
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/damien-rice/54368.html ]
And we all seem to need the help
of someone else,
to mend that shelf
with too many books.
Read me your favorite line.
Papa went to other lands,
he found someone who understands
the ticking,
the western man's need to cry.
He came back the other day.
Some things in life may change,
and some things, they stay the same.
Like time.
[chorus]
There's always time
So pass me by,

Older gents sit on the fence,
with a cap in hand,
looking grim.
They watch their city change.
Children scream, or so it seems
louder than before
out a door, and into stores
with bigger names.
Mama tried to watch their faces
but these kids, they lost their graces,
and daddy lost at the races
too many times.
She broke down the other day.
Some things in life may change,
but some things, they stay the same.
Like time.
