F C G Am
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
F Am
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren’t
there anymore
F C G Am
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
F C G
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
Am
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
F C G Am
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
F
Running into the dark underground
Am
All the subways around create a great sound
F C G Am
To my motion fatigue: farewell with your ear to a seashell
F C
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
G Am C
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
[CHORUS]
F C G
Time together isn't ever quite enough
C
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
F C G
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
C
We need time, only time
F C G
When we're apart, whatever are you thinking of?
C
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
F C G
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
C
All the time, all the time
F C G Am
Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on
F Am
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even
oversleep
F C G Am
I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights
F
I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow
Am C
We’ll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
F C G
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
C F
All the time.
[CHORUS x2]
P.S. Be gentle; this is only my second tab!
