* for the C ^ just do a normal C chord, and use your pinky to hit the B string on the third fret.

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

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


Chorus:
       Em C   C    d    G
And if on-ly time will tell,
         C
Then I can't stand waiting
            C                    Em
While the lights are changing on me.
 C             C    d    G
Tell it to my own free will.
      Bm                      Em
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:
       Em C   C    d    G
And if on-ly time will tell,
         C
Then I can't stand waiting
            C                    Em
While the lights are changing on me.
 C             C    d    G
Tell it to my own free will.
      Bm                      Em
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)
