Capo 4
[Intro]
E D E G A
[Verse]
E G D E
On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door,
C D E
On windy nights I can smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shore
G D E
The traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day
C D G A
But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting
[Chorus]
E G A
And if my hand could block the sun, (whoooah ohhhhhhh)
E G A
Would we ever wake up?
E G
And if I turned back all these clocks,
A C
Would that be time enough?
[Verse]
E G D E
I can't remember exactly when this longing began
C D E
But I know it wasn't before the day you touched my hand,
G D E
Laugh and shout in blissful daze and numbers are exchanged,
C D G A
But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting
[Chorus]
E G A
And if my hand could block the sun, (whoooah ohhhhhhh)
E G A
Would we ever wake up?
E G
And if I turned back all these clocks,
A C D
Would that be time enough?
[Bridge]
E G D
So put your hands where I can see them,
E G D
And shut your mouth, I know who you are,
E D E G D
In a world void of feeling or heart I know that we are the torches in the dark
E
Let's break this down, let's make this count,
D E D
Let's leave this one-horse town, no better time than now [repeat bridge]
E G D E
The angels dance like feathers float, they're here to see and to be seen,
G D E
The clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings,
D G D
Once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave
E C D G A
But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting
[Chorus]
E G A
And if my hand could block the sun, (whoooah ohhhhhhh)
E G A
Would we ever wake up?
E G
And if I turned back all these clocks,
A C D
Would that be time enough?
E G A
Will we ever wake up?
[Outro]
