[Verse 1]
G
Sometimes I wake up in the morning
Em
And it cuts me like a knife
C D
I come face to face with my longing, for another world, another life
[Chorus]
G Em
And a time that never was
C D
Whoa, a time that never was
[Verse 2]
G
We drove on, fueled not by the future
Em
But by a past we could never touch
C D
Forced to run head-on collisions, 'til we vanished in the dust
[Chorus]
G Em
Of a time that never was
C D
Whoa, the time that never was
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
G
So kiss me once more, baby
Em
One more kiss, baby, you must
C D
Don't ever let me forget, girl, the time that never was
[Chorus/Outro]
G Em
A time that never was
C D
Whoa, the time that never was
G Em
Oh-oh-oh, the time that never was
C D
Whoa, the time that never was
