Dm/       A  Csus/  G  Bb2/  F  Am  
Close your eyes    go to  sleep
Dm/       A  Csus/         G  Am  
close your eyes    get so dizzy
Dm/     A  Csus/    G  Bb2/  F  Am

I Eknow where the Csun goes
gone to Ewake up the Csparrows
in EEngland it's Amorning

BbIn timCe you'll Gsee that some things 
Eb*               F  Bb  
travel faster than light
in Ctime you'll Grecognise 
that Eblove is Flarger than Glife
VERSE:
Now you know what you're missing
now you've seen that I'm willing
if you're looking for the message
close your eyes
do you hear what I'm thinking
is it how you imagined
CHORUS:
In time you'll see that some things 
travel faster than light
in time you'll recognise 
that love is larger than life
and praise will come to those whose kindness 
leaves you without debt
and bends the shape of things to come 
that haven't happened yet

EI know where the Csun goes
I have Eseen the world Aturning
CHORUS:
In time you'll find that some things 
travel faster than light
in time you'll recognise that 
love is larger than life
and praise will come to those 
whose kindness leaves you without debt
and bends the shape of things to come 
that haven't happened yet
