Time here

(Eb)all but means (Bb)noth ing, just (F)shad ows that move ’cross the wall.

(Gm9)They keep me (Gm9)com pa ny, (Eb)but they don’t ask of me, (F)they don’t say (Gm)noth ing at all.

And I need just a lit tle more si lence.

I need just a lit tle more time.

for (Gm9)You send your (Gm9)thieves to me, (Eb)si lent ly stalk ing me, drag ing ging me in to your war.

Would you (Gm9)give me no (Gm9)choice in this?

(Eb)I know you can’t re sist try ing to re o pen a sore.

Would you

Leave me be; I (Ebmaj7)don’t want to ar gue.

I (F)just get con fused and I (Cm7)come all un done.

And if I a gree, well, it’s just to ap pease you, ’cause (Bb)I don’t re mem ber what (Eb)we’re fight ing for.

You see (Gm9)love

a (Eb)tight, thorn y thread that you spin in a cir cle of gold.

To (Gm9)have me, to hold me, a (Eb)to ken for all to see, (F)cap tured to be yours a lone.

Time here

(Eb)all but means (Bb)noth ing, just (F)shad ows that move ’cross the wall.

(Gm9)They keep me (Gm9)com pa ny, (Eb)but they don’t ask of me, (F)they don’t say (Gm)noth ing at all.

Leave me be; I (Ebmaj7)don’t want to ar gue.

I (F)just get con fused and I (Cm7)come all un done.

And if I a gree, well, it’s just to ap pease you, ’cause (Bb)I don’t re mem ber what (Eb)we’re fight ing for.
