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?
