[F#m] [Bm] Oh, I know [B] that it is right, [Am] that [D]
[A] [D]
it is right, [Em] that it is right.
[F#m] Since that [G] day of the morning, [D] there was a sense of [G] awe among the wise.
[Em] He's listening to those in [Bm] sadness
[F#m] eyes.
[Bm] Why does it [E] always seem, it's [G] less force than the [A] unbewildered thought of me.
The more he builds his [G] empty numbers, [D] the less he feels [G] there's a chance [Em] to find
something that can [Bm] bring him some light.
Is there a place where [E] I can go?
[C]
Something [Am] you should know [C#] to turn the [F#] tide.
[Bm] Do your [D] favor.
[G] [A] Wait a little while, and wake up [D] when you have to [G] go.
Come [Bm] on, give it your [F#m] time and it will come to you.
[D] Yes, [F#m] you know all the [C] time.
Burning, [Em] binding, standing by your side.
[F#m] Don't forget it, [G] will you let it?
[Em] It'll come [D] to you.
Wait for it, for a little while.
Give [Em] [Bm]
[E] [D]
[C#] [F#] [Bm]
[A] [Bm] it your [F#m] life, wait a little while, and wake up when [G] [D] [F#m]
it's gonna [D] come to you.
Yes, [F#m] you know all the [Am] time.

It'll come [F#m] to you.
[Bm] Yes, for a little [D] while.
[F#m] Yes, it'll come to you.
[A] When I run short [G] on inspiration,
[B] then I must recall [G] that I don't all along.
[Em] Then remember sweet [F#m] September [Gm] sun,
that really [E] doesn't have to be.
[C] All that's been a win, [C#] it's gonna take [A#] you.
It ain't no [D] more.
