[verse]
A                  D
Somewhere near the center of time,
A                   E
People are standing still.
   A                  D
It took them years to get this far,
   A         E         A
To climb the expanding hill.
N/C       
And the closer they’d get, the slower they’d move,
  A                       E
Until they didn’t move at all.
A               D  
Frozen now in a state of grace,
A           E       A
Just in the nick of time.


[verse] 
A                  D
Somewhere near the center of time,
A                   E
In a murky swirling mass,
   A                  D
People are struggling to find their place,
   A         E         A
To make the moment last.
N/C
And a statue appears out of the mist,
  A                       E
Of two lovers sharing a kiss.
A               D  
As they will until the end the end of time,
A           E       A
But the time will never end.


[chorus]
F#m                B7
And you can try to stop them,
E                  A
And you can try to shun them,
F#m                D
And you can try to join them,
E              A
And become one of them.


[verse] 
A                  D
Somewhere near the center of time,
A                   E
Someone has changed her mind.
   A                  D
To take the turn is a terrible task,
   A         E         A
Takes all the courage she can find.
N/C
To acknowledge the time, is to acknowledge you death,
  A                       E
That one day you’ll breathe your last breath.
A               D  
She chose to live her life in time.
A           E       A
Yeah, she chose it just in time.


[chorus]
F#m                B7
And you can try to stop them,
E                  A
And you can try to shun them,
F#m                D
And you can try to join them,
E              A
And become one of them.
