[Verse 1]
       B              D#m
I feel sorrow for the fear
    D             C#m
And everything it brings
C         Bm                E   A
Wonder if it will ever sleep
  B             D#m
I know you understand
           D             C#m
'Cause you briefly look away
C        Bm
Focusing on nothing
       E*  Esus4  Eadd#11 E**
So now e - very - thing   is

clear
                         D7
'Cause there's no one to blame
                    A7
You got no place to hide
                  D7
It's only in your mind
          A7      A#dim7
And I saw you in amazement
Bm7                   E7
Stumbling through the day
            A7         A#dim7
You told me time never waits
        Bm7              E7
What is that supposed to mean?
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       D
All of life
          C#m
Is in one drop of the ocean
              Bm
Waiting to go home
                   A
Just waiting to go home
           D
And if the moon
             C#m
Can turn the tides it can pull the tears
                      Bm
and take 'em from our eyes
                     A
And make 'em into monsoons
 
[Chorus]
 
And turn them into mon
D                                   C#m
Sooner or later they'll weave their way back to the sea
                 Bm
Gonna finally be free
                A
Yeah, free for awhile
           D
Until they break
              C#m
Like waves of sorrow always do
         Bm
All in due time
                   A
'Cause time never waits
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
B            D#m
Daddy, don't daydream again
     D          C#m
Just help me to believe and then
C            Bm                     E       A
Show me that there's more than the meantime
B                  D#m
Sonny, do you hear the sound?
        D               C#m
You can feel it when it breaks
         C                 Bm
You will know it when it's gone
    E*   Esus4 Eadd#11 E**
How else can   I       ex-

plain?
                        D7
'Cause there's only the pain
                A7
Coming straight through
            D7
Coming to remind
            A7      A#dim7
Crosscut to you in amazement
Bm7                   E7
Stumbling through the day
            A7         A#dim7
You tell me time never waits
        Bm7                         E7
That's okay 'cause I don't wait for time
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            D
When all of life
          C#m
Is in one drop of the ocean
              Bm
Waiting to go home
                   A
Just waiting to go home
           D
And if the moon
             C#m
Can turn the tides it can pull the tears

and take 'em from our eyes

                 Bm
Gonna finally be free
          A
Free for awhile
           D
Until they break, mmm
              C#m
Like waves of sorrow always break
           Bm

'Cause time never waits
