[Verse]
BmWasted on the floor again and nEo one seems to mind
AI can go back out and that would Dtake up too much time
BmI'm still busy callin out your C#mname wide eyed and face down on the ApineD  
BmHow I miss the colors of the Eleaves that grow in spring
AAnd how you used to dance upon the F#mrain and I would sing
BmHow i'd give most anything to Ewatch you twirl around for one more AtimeD  
[Chorus]
I need more BmtimeE  A  D  
I need more BmtimeE  A  
[Verse]
BmThis is how you turned me to the Earcher from the arched
AThis is where you turned me to the Dmarksman from the marked
BmThis is how I learnt how to Etake the arrows in my back
And C#mshoot them Aat the sDtars
BmBut how they all just circle back and Emeet me at the start
AAnd how they hit me hard enough to F#mquestion who you are
BmAnd how you got so close to meE  
EAnd how you got so faArD  
[Chorus]
I need more BmtimeE  A  F#m  
I need more BmtimeE  A  D  
I need more BmtimeE  A  D  
I need more BmtimeE  A  D  
BmThe shrapnel of my faith in you is Ecutting through my skin
AAnd somewhere in the mess around my Dbody it begins
BmAnd I don't see an end to thisE  
So I'll enjoy the Dfire
[Chorus]
I need more BmtimeE  A  D  
I need more BmtimeE  A  D  
I need more BmtimeE  A  D  
I need more BmtimeE
