Intro: Bb-F-Cm-Eb (x2)

Bb F           Cm     Eb
I wait for the day to break me,
Bb F             Cm  Eb
I look up to the sky,
Bb F               Cm        Eb
I look back on the life that graced me,
    Bb         F  Cm  Eb
When you were mine.

Cm       Eb         Bb       F
The time comes, the time comes,
Cm       Eb         Bb       F
The time comes, the time comes,
Cm       Eb         Bb       F
The time comes, the time comes,
          Cm            Gm     F
And then it goes, then it goes away.

Bb F         Cm       Eb
Don't try to read the silence,
Bb F           Cm     Eb
Don't try to live it down,
Bb          F                  Cm        Eb
'Cause I've learned a thing or two about patience,
   Bb        F   Cm  Eb
And I have found...

Cm       Eb         Bb       F
The time comes, the time comes,
Cm       Eb         Bb       F
The time comes, the time comes,
Cm       Eb         Bb       F
The time comes, the time comes,
          Cm            Gm     F   Cm-Gm-F-Cm-Gm-F
And then it goes, then it goes away.
