The Amfirst time that we met I thought 'I Fbet that she's the one"
but I was Esus4talking to myself than, as E7alwEays.
As Amtime went by our steps entwined, unFwritten lines grew taut, and I
Esus4tried to find a way to make it aE7ll Esafe.
IAmnto the play - wGhat a production!
IFnto the days and eEver more suction
You Amhold me close, Ghold me farther
aFway from yourself - I make me a mEartyr,
for Ampain and Glove go Fhand in Ehand...
And hAmand in hand go you and my friend, you Fare his and I am yours
and Esus4I just cannot eE7vade Eyou.
My dAmays are dream, my nights unseemly, sFtolen moments all I live for, 
but Esus4theft is no way to perE7suade Eyou
to Amcome with me, leGave him behind you,
my hFurtful eyes try to rEemind you,
it's Amall I can do to Gkeep on screaming
'I lFove you, I love you!' - I wish I were dEreaming,
but the Emsteps we Dtake all Cleave Bfootprints.

but I guess that's ourAselves.
The Amdays are strange, at night we're stangeFrs, lie in bed and lie inside                
our Esus4heads, we come no closer than as dE7ancEers.
Your eAmyes are change, your presence danger, wFon't look me in the eye and
yet you Esus4kiss, and make up the aE7nswEer
to all the Amquestions that lie unanGswered, unreasoned,
dFeath in the sky, deEath in the season,
if Amyou leave me now, it mGight nearly kill me

PETER HAMMILL - TIME HEALS

Am Dm Am G

Thinking back, it seems that I can lie beside you like I never truly did

F G Am

In afterglow - no afterwords at all.

Am F/A Am F/A Am G

Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead

F Dm/A F Dm/A F Em

only paying words out, strings of half-forgotten sentiment.

F Em

I mean...

Em F

Imeant...

F E F E F B F E F E F B E

(single notes over an bass)

I never really quite could say the way it was.

Am F

The first time that we met I thought 'I bet that she's the one"

Esus4 E7 E

but I was talking to myself than, as always.

Am F

As time went by our steps entwined, unwritten lines grew taut, and I

Esus4 E7 E

tried to find a way to make it all safe.

Am G

Into the play - what a production!

F E

Into the days and ever more suction

Am G

You hold me close, hold me farther

F E

away from yourself - I make me a martyr,

Am G F E

for pain and love go hand in hand...

Am F

And hand in hand go you and my friend, you are his and I am yours

Esus4 E7 E

and I just cannot evade you.

Am F

My days are dream, my nights unseemly, stolen moments all I live for,

Esus4 E7 E

but theft is no way to persuade you

Am G

to come with me, leave him behind you,

F E

my hurtful eyes try to remind you,

Am G

it's all I can do to keep on screaming

F E

'I love you, I love you!' - I wish I were dreaming,

Em D C B

but the steps we take all leave footprints.

D G/D D G/D D D G/D D G/D D D

Sooner or later the whole thing will be blown

A D/A A D/A A A D/A A D/A A A

You will leave him or I'll be left here, alone.

D G/D D G/D D D G/D D G/D

Either way someone loses someone

G C/D G C/G G G C/G G G/G G A

I don't mind that, I just would quite like to know who we love the most,

but I guess that's ourselves.

Am F

The days are strange, at night we're stangers, lie in bed and lie inside

Esus4 E7 E

our heads, we come no closer than as dancers.

Am F

Your eyes are change, your presence danger, won't look me in the eye and

Esus4 E7 E

yet you kiss, and make up the answer

Am G

to all the questions that lie unanswered, unreasoned,

F E

death in the sky, death in the season,

Am G

if you leave me now, it might nearly kill me

Remember me?

Remember we three?

Em D C B

It all seemed so important at the time

Em D C B

We came so close to wrecking all our lives

Em D C B

And now it's all just song lines...

Em D C B

Time heals,

Em D C B

Time heals...

Em D C B

oh, but I still bear the weals...

*here, the "em D C B" sequence drops down gradually, to "am G F E", first

the bass notes, then the whole chords*

Am Dm Am G

Thinking back, it seems that I can lie beside you as I never truly did

F G Am

In afterglow - no afterwords at all.

Am F/A Am F/A Am G

Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead

F Dm/A F Dm/A F Em

only paying words out, strings of half-forgotten sentiment.

F Em

I mean...

Em F

Imeant...

F E F E F B F E F E F B

I never really quite could say the way it was.
