The Mean Time (Capo 5)

Am C

Intro - * *

I'm tempted to turn around

as I walk away

with each passing step it's apparent

there is no way, there's no way

flocking to desperation

seems a logical step to take

the reasons we're through are apparent

silence is my saving grace

bangin on my chest

always been a fighter

armed with recklessness

let's start the fire

Am Am

too late you take

Am C B G

chances that will leave you broken

Am Am

in the mean time i'm fine

Am C B G

longing for the words unspoken

conflicted and feeling down

pushing the pain away

to live in the past is no answer

there is no way, there's no way

bangin on my chest

always been a fighter

armed with recklessness

let's start the fire

Am Am

too late you take

Am C B G

chances that will leave you broken

Am Am

in the mean time i'm fine

Am C B G

longing for the words unspoken

F G

Bridge -

C B F

it was hardly a small indescretion

C B Am

when i didn't stop turn and say

C B F

that i've only got some direction

C B Am

when you're there facing my way

in the meantime i'm fine

Am Am

too late you take

Am C B G

chances that will leave you broken

Am Am

in the mean time i'm fine

Am C B G

longing for the words unspoken

Am Am

too late you take

Am C B G

chances that will leave you broken

Am Am

in the mean time i'm fine

Am C B G

longing for the words unspoken
