It's Time

Its Time by Imagine Dragons deals with accepting and understanding who you are amidst external pressures to change. Dan Reynolds wrote the song during a challenging period in his life when he was on the verge of quitting music.

Key: G

Introduction:

 D 
So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?
 A                                                                                                                                   Bm 
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top,
Don't hold back
 G 
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
 D                                                                                 A 
I don't ever want to let you down
                                                                                   Bm 
I don't ever want to leave this town
                           G 
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night...
 D 
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                                         Bm 
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
                                                                       Em 
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                                   G 
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?

 D 
So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell
 A 
the path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell,
                           Bm 
right to the top
Don't look back
 G 
Turning to rags and give the commodities a rain check
 D 
I don't ever want to let you down
 A                                                               Bm 
I don't ever want to leave this town
                             G 
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night...
 D 
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                                           Bm 
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
                                                                         Em 
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
                                                 G 
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?
 Bm                                                   A 
This road never looked so lonely,
                                                             G 
This house doesn't burn down slowly,
 Em                       G 
to ashes, to ashes...
It's time to begin, isn't it?
 D 
It's time to begin, isn't it?
                                     Bm 
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
                                                                         Em 
I'll admit, I'm just the same as I was
 Em                                             G 
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am?
