[Verse 1]
B D#m
I feel sorrow for the fear
D C#m
And everything it brings
C Bm E A
Wonder if it will ever sleep
B D#m
I know you understand
D C#m
'Cause you briefly look away
C Bm
Focusing on nothing
E Esus4Eadd#11E

D7
'Cause there's no one to blame
A7
You got no place to hide
D7
It's only in your mind
A7 A#dim7
And I saw you in amazement
Bm7 E7
Stumbling through the day
A7 A#dim7
You told me time never waits
Bm7 E7
What is that supposed to mean?
[Pre-Chorus]
D
All of life
C#m
Is in one drop of the ocean
Bm
Waiting to go home
A
Just waiting to go home
D
And if the moon
C#m
Can turn the tides it can pull the tears
Bm
and take 'em from our eyes
A
And make 'em into monsoons
[Chorus]
And turn them into mon
D C#m
Sooner or later they'll weave their way back to the sea
Bm
Gonna finally be free
A
Yeah, free for awhile
D
Until they break
C#m
Like waves of sorrow always do
Bm
All in due time
A
'Cause time never waits
[Interlude]

B D#m
Daddy, don't daydream again
D C#m
Just help me to believe and then
C Bm E A
Show me that there's more than the meantime
B D#m
Sonny, do you hear the sound?
D C#m
You can feel it when it breaks
C Bm
You will know it when it's gone
E Esus4Eadd#11E

plain?
D7
'Cause there's only the pain
A7
Coming straight through
D7
Coming to remind
A7 A#dim7
Crosscut to you in amazement
Bm7 E7
Stumbling through the day
A7 A#dim7
You tell me time never waits
Bm7 E7
That's okay 'cause I don't wait for time
[Pre-Chorus]
D
When all of life
C#m
Is in one drop of the ocean
Bm
Waiting to go home

Just waiting to go home

And if the moon
