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:
E G A x3
