Lyrics

I o pened my eyes

last (C)night

and saw you in the low light, walk ing down by the bay,

on the shore,

star ing up at the stars that aren’t there (G)an y more.

I was feel ing the night

grow (C)old,

and you were look ing so cold.

So like an in tro vert, I drew my o ver shirt a round my arms and be gan to shiv er (G)vio lent ly be (F)fore Can you you hap pened to look

and (C)see

the tun nels all a round me.

Run ning in to the dark

un der ground, and all the sub ways a round cre ate a great ver sound.

To my feel mo tion fa tigue:

fare (C)well.

when With your ear to a sea shell, (F)I you can hear the waves in un der wa ter caves as if you ac tual ly were in side a (G)salt wa ter room.

Time to (Am)geth er is (F)nev er quite e nough.

When you and (Am)I are a lone, I’ve nev er (F)felt so at home.

What will it (Am)take to make or (F)break this hint of love?

On ly time,

on ly time.

So tell me, (Am)dar ling, do you (F)wish we’d fall in love?

Yeah, (Am)all the time.

All the time.

Time to (A)geth er is (F)nev er quite e nough.

When you and (Am)I are a lone, I’ve nev er (F)felt so at home.

What will it (Am)take to make or (F)break this hint of love?

On ly time,

on ly time.

When we’re a (Am)part, what ev er (F)are you think ing of?

If this is (Am)what I call home, why does it (F)feel so a lone?

So tell me, (Am)dar ling, do you (F)wish we’d fall in love?

All the time,

all the time.

Time to geth er is nev er quite e nough.

When we’re a part, what ev er are you think ing of?
