[G]
[D] Just like the driftwood of a dream [G] Left on the seashore of [A] sleep
[D] Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme [G] Lost in the desert [A] of time
Time waits with [Em] no one at all [A] No, not even you
You thought [Em] you'd seen it all before [A] You really thought you knew
[D] I don't remember what we said In [G] the confusion [A] that night
[D] I only know what's on my mind What's in [G] the future
We will [A] decide
Time waits [Em] with no one at all [A]
No, not even you
You thought [Em] you'd seen it all before [A] You really thought you knew
I [Gm]
shattered the illusion Of [Dm]
fortune [Gm] and your faith
[D] But darling, now I [G] know it Like you [D] never [G] need to say
[A] Oh, no, not even [Em] you
[A] Driftwood on [D] the shore
[G]
[A] [Em] [D]
[G]
Oh, no, [A]
not even you
Time waits [Em] with no one at [A] all No, not even you
You thought [Em] you'd seen it all before [A]
You really thought you knew
I [Gm]
shattered the [C] illusion [Gm] [Dm] Of fortune [Gm] and your faith
[D] I'm waking [G] up, I'm reaching up I'm getting [D] up, [G] I'm escaping
[A] Oh, no, [Em] leave me [A] driftwood [D] on the shore [G] Oh, [A]
no, [Em] leave me [A] driftwood [D] on the shore
[G] Oh, [A]
no, [Em] leave me [A] driftwood [D] on the shore
