Capo 5
Verse 1
[Em] [C] [G]
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
[Em] [C]
Walking down by the bay, on the shore
[Em] [G]
staring up at the stars that aren’t there anymore
[Em] [C] [G] [C]
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
[Em] [C] [Em]
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
[G] [Em]
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
[C] [G] [C]
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
[Em] [C] [Em]
Running into the dark underground
[G] [Em]
All the subways around create a great sound
[C] [G]
To my motion fatigue: farewell
[Em] [C]
With your ear to a seashell
[Em]
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
[C] [G]
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
(D, Em, C D, Em, G)
Chorus
[Em] [C] [G]
Time together is just never quite enough
[C] [Em]
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
[C] [G]
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
[C]
Only time, only time
[Em] [C] [G]
When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?
[C] [Em]
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
[C] [G]
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
[C]
All the time, all the time
Verse 2
[Em] [C] [G]
Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on?
[Em] [C] [Em] [G]
All my islands have sunk in the deep, and I can hardly relax or even oversleep
[Em] [C] [G] [Em] [C]
I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights
[Em]
I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow
[C] [G]
We’ll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
Chorus
[Em] [C] [G]
Time together isn't ever quite enough
[C] [Em]
When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
[C] [G]
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
[C]
We need time, only time
[Em] [C] [G]
When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?
[C] [Em]
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
[C] [G]
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
[C]
All the time, all the time
