Chords with lyrics
PETER HAMMILL - TIME HEALS
A minorAm 
DmDm A minorAm 
G+G
Thinking back, it seems that I can lie beside you like I never truly did
FF G+G A minorAm
In afterglow - no afterwords at all.
A minorAm 
F/AF/A A minorAm F/AF/A A minorAm G+G
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead
FF Dm/A FF Dm/A FF 
E minorEm
only paying words out, strings of half-forgotten sentiment.
FF E minorEm
I mean...
E minorEm FF
Imeant...

E MajorE FF E MajorE FF 
BB FF E MajorE FF E MajorE FF BB (single notes over an E MajorE bass)
I never really quite could say the way it was.
A minorAm FF
The first time that we met I thought 'I bet that she's the one"
Esus4Esus4 
E7E7 E MajorE
but I was talking to myself than, as always.
A minorAm FF
As time went by our steps entwined, unwritten lines grew taut, and I
Esus4Esus4 E7E7 E MajorE
tried to find a way to make it all safe.
A minorAm G+G
Into the play - what a production!
FF E MajorE
Into the days and ever more suction
A minorAm G+G
You hold me close, hold me farther
FF E MajorE
away from yourself - I make me a martyr,
A minorAm G+G FF E MajorE
for pain and love go hand in hand...
A minorAm FF
And hand in hand go you and my friend, you are his and I am yours
Esus4Esus4 E7E7 E MajorE
and I just cannot evade you.
A minorAm FF
My days are dream, my nights unseemly, stolen moments all I live for,
Esus4Esus4 E7E7 E MajorE
but theft is no way to persuade you
A minorAm G+G
to come with me, leave him behind you,
FF E MajorE
my hurtful eyes try to remind you,
A minorAm G+G
it's all I can do to keep on screaming
FF E MajorE
'I love you, I love you!' - I wish I were dreaming,
E minorEm 
D MajorD 
C majorC BB
but the steps we take all leave footprints.
D MajorD 
G/DG/D D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD D G/DG/D D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD D MajorD
Sooner or later the whole thing will be blown
A augmentedA 
D/AD/A A augmentedA D/AD/A A augmentedA A augmentedA D/AD/A A augmentedA D/AD/A A augmentedA 
A majorA
You will leave him or I'll be left here, alone.
D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD G/DG/D
Either way someone loses someone
G+G 
C/DC/D G+G 
C/GC/G G+G 
G MajorG C/GC/G G+G G/G G+G A augmentedA
I don't mind that, I just would quite like to know who we love the most,
A augmentedA
but I guess that's ourselves.
A minorAm FF
The days are strange, at night we're stangers, lie in bed and lie inside
Esus4Esus4 E7E7 E MajorE
our heads, we come no closer than as dancers.
A minorAm FF
Your eyes are change, your presence danger, won't look me in the eye and
Esus4Esus4 E7E7 E MajorE
yet you kiss, and make up the answer
A minorAm G+G
to all the questions that lie unanswered, unreasoned,
FF E MajorE
death in the sky, death in the season,
A minorAm G+G
if you leave me now, it might nearly kill me
FF
Remember me?
E MajorE
Remember we three?
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC BB
It all seemed so important at the time
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC BB
We came so close to wrecking all our lives
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC BB
And now it's all just song lines...
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC BB
Time heals,
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC BB
Time heals...
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC BB
oh, but I still bear the weals...
*here, the "em D MajorD C majorC B" sequence drops down gradually, to "am G+G FF E", first
the bass notes, then the whole chords*

Thinking back, it seems that I can lie beside you as I never truly did

In afterglow - no afterwords at all.
