Verse 1:
  G+G   d      G+G    d
Joshua smiled, said listen to reason,
 G+G     d      E minorEm      C majorC    G+G (leads into intro)
Don't blame me when the walls come tumbling down.

  G+G    d      G+G    d
So I was adrift on the sea of longing,
  G+G      d     E minorEm     C majorC  G+G  (leads into intro)
awaiting the trumpets to raise your ivory gown.

Chorus:
    E minorEm C majorC  C majorC  d  G+G
And if on-ly time will tell,
     C majorC
Then I can't stand waiting
      C majorC          E minorEm
While the lights are changing on me.
 C majorC       C majorC  d  G+G
Tell it to my own free will.
   B minorBm           E minorEm
If I lost this thorn from my side,
       d
I think I'd die.


(repeat intro)


Verse 2: (same as Verse 1 in terms of chords)
Albert Camus said, "living is anguish,
but don't dare let those bastards weigh you down."

And if this is so, then I see no reason
for spending the evening doing anything but going downtown.

Chorus:
    E minorEm C majorC  C majorC  d  G+G
And if on-ly time will tell,
     C majorC
Then I can't stand waiting
      C majorC          E minorEm
While the lights are changing on me.
 C majorC       C majorC  d  G+G
Tell it to my own free will.
   B minorBm           E minorEm
If I lost this thorn from my side,
       d
I'd probably I'd die,
       d
Most likely die,
      d
I think I'd die.


(repeat intro and end on G+G)
