Am      C                 G                     Ami
On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door,
Am    C            G       Ami
on windy nights I can smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shore
Ami          C          G Ami
the traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day
Am            C          Am F Ami    G
but I'm still waiting, yeah I'm still waiting

   Am   Em            G  F  Ami
R: And if my hand could block the sun,
   Am     C         Ami G
   would we ever wake up?
   Am   Em            G  F  Ami
   And if I turned back all these clocks
   Am           C         Ami G
   would that be time enough?

Am      C             G      Ami
I can't remember exactly when this longing began
Ami                C                        G Ami
but I know it wasn't before the day you touched my hand,
Am C G Am
laugh and shout in blissful daze and numbers are exchanged,
Am            C          Am F Ami    G
but I'm still waiting, yeah I'm still waiting

R: And if my hand could block the sun...

G       Ami             C          G
So put your hands where I can see them,
G            Am C          G
and shut your mouth, I know who you are,
G     Ami   C    G Am             C           G
in a world void of feeling or heart I know that we are the torches in the dark

G Am C
Let's break this down, let's make this count,
G           Am            C G
let's leave this one-horse town, no better time than now
G Am C
let's break this down, let's make this count,
G           Am            C G
let's leave this one-horse town, no better time than now

G      Am         G          Ami
The angels dance like feathers float, they're here to see and to be seen,
Am C G Ami
the clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings,
Am C          G Ami
once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave
Am            C          Am F Ami    G
but I'm still waiting, yeah I'm still waiting

R: And if my hand could block the sun...
