Em    C    G    D    Em

Verse:
                                   C
Here I sit smack dab in the middle

Tomorrow is a crazy riddle

I wish I had a crystal ball

I wish I could see five years on

Like candle rockets, you and I
                                    G
Ooh's and ah's and shouts and sighs
G

Is this the storm before the calm?

I wish I could see five years on__

Chorus:

And you try and I won't
  C                G
A broken trust can be repaired

But it'll take some time to get us there

And I will and you won't
            Em
And you try and I don't

We lose a little higher ground
      D                  Em
Every time we go around

Verse:
Em
We always seem to look behind
    C                           G
Say, “If I'd known at the time”
G
There's no one to read my palm
  D                              Em
I wish I could see five years on

Verse:
Em
If we fail or if we fly

No one can say that we didn't try

Has the final card been drawn?

I wish I could see five years on__

A broken trust can be repaired
          D                 Em           C
But it'll take some time to get us there
          G              D
And I will and you won't
            Em
And you try and I don't
   C             G
We lose a little higher ground
      D
Every time we go around
D
Every time we go around

Bridge:
     C         G
And around and round
      D                Em
We're lost, then we're found
   C                G
We can't change the words
    D                            Em
The ones we wish we hadn't heard

Verse:
Em
There's no map or twelve-step guide
C
We do what we can't justify

It's always dark before the dawn
  D                              Em
I wish I could see five years on

Verse:
Em
I promised you and you promise me
   C
And still there are no guarantees
   G
Is this the last verse of the song?

I wish I could see five years on___

Chorus:
           G              D
But I can't and you don't
            Em
And you try and I won't
  C                G
A broken trust can be repaired
          D                 Em           C
But it'll take some time to get us there
          G              D
And I will and you won't
            Em
And you try and I don't
   C             G
We lose a little higher ground
      D
Every time we go around
