[Intro]
(C)      (F)    (C)    (F*)
[Verse 1]
(C)
I don't know you
(F)
But I want you
(C)                      (F*)
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And gameAms that nGever amFount
To more Gthan they're meaAmnt

We've still got Ftime
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
[Verse 2]
(C)                      (F)
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
(C)                      (F*)
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
[Pre-Chorus 2]
AmYou have Gsuffered eFnough
And warrGed with yourAmself
It's timGe that you wFon
[Chorus]
CTake this sinking Fboat
and point it Amhome
We've still got Ftime
Raise your hopeful voice
