[Intro – soft, spacious, reflective] Em I thought I had time C I thought I’d get there G Somewhere between surviving D And breathing air --- [Verse 1 – quiet realization] Em Mornings blur into evenings C Days I don’t recall G I keep saying “just a little longer” D While I’m losing it all Em I used to have colors C I used to have plans G Now I measure my life D In what I can withstand --- [Chorus – gentle, haunting] C It’s all just passing G Right through my hands Em Every tomorrow D Turns into “when I can” C I keep on holding G What I don’t understand Em How I’m still breathing D While my life’s just passing --- [Verse 2 – deeper reflection] Em Birthdays come and go C Like they don’t mean a thing G Another year added D But I don’t feel a thing Em There’s a version of me C I barely remember G She had dreams in her pockets D Now they’re lost in the weather --- [Chorus – slightly fuller] C It’s all just passing G Right through my hands Em Every tomorrow D Turns into “when I can” C I keep on holding G What I don’t understand Em How I’m still breathing D While my life’s just passing --- [Verse 3 – present awareness] Em I watch other people C Living out loud G While I’m stuck in the background D Just trying to hold ground Em I don’t even know C What I’d choose anymore G When all of my wanting D Got buried in chores --- [Bridge – expanded, emotional peak, stripped] C I kept saying someday G Like it was a place Em Like I’d wake up and find it D Waiting for me to arrive C But someday kept moving G Further away Em And I stayed right here D Watching it fade C Now the silence feels louder G Than anything said Em And I’m wide awake D In a life I never led C There’s still something in me G That won’t let go Em But it’s getting harder D To believe what I know --- [Final Chorus – soft but heavy, no belting] C It’s all just passing G Right through my hands Em Every tomorrow D Turns into “when I can” C I keep on holding G What I don’t understand Em How I’m still breathing D While my life’s just passing --- [Outro – fading, unresolved] Em Passing… C Passing… G I was right here D And it kept passing…
