         F#m
have you ever seen the mourning
         E
when the sun comes out the shore
        F#m
and the silence makes
            E
a beautiful sound

         F#m
have you ever sat there waiting
        E
for the time to stand still
            F#m
for all the world to stop
             E
from turning around

        A         E           F#m
and you run cause life is too short
and you run cause life is too short

          D
There's a time that turns
    A
I'd turn back time
    E
But I don't say I can
        F#m                        E
It only works if you believe in the truth
               D
Well there's a time to live
      A
And a time to cry
    E
But if you're by my side
       F#m
I will try to catch a star
I'll try to catch a star
         E
Just for you
