Intro: -----

Verse 1:

C G

I was on my way I swear

Em Am

But I took a wrong

turn there

For I zigged when I

should have zagged

It's a somber turn

out tonight

Chemistry class

C G Em

Try to do our part

Something happened

in the dark

We bought raincoats

and pretty charms

And they did

remember this time

To keep it inside

C G

Now we keep the water still

Am Am

On the broken window sill

For if not we have to move

Chorus 1:

It is green outside

Where it seems magical

F G Em

And if nothing works

We'll do nothing

F G

I hope we're on time

Verse 2:

And we should'nt

look at the sky

The perilous light

We were not

allowed outside

And no one could

tell us why

I got worried

With shaky hands

So we said the

words that we kept

For worrying times

C G

I was on my way I swear

Em Am

But I lost my way somewhere

And the trees were glistening

Bridge:

From the silver

trickling water

When the rain returns

We had our suspicions

Thinking what my

(hold)

heart confirmed

Chorus 2:

F G Em

It is sweet outside

Where it seems magical

F G Em

And if nothing works

We'll do nothing

F G Em

Save yourself tonight

Asleep in the dark

F G C

(hold)

I hope we're on time
