[Verse 1]
C G
I opened my eyes last night, and saw you in the lowlight
C
Walking down by the bay, on the shore
Em C D
Staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore
C G
I was feeling the night, grow old, and you were looking so cold
C
Like an introvert, I drew my overshirt
Em C D
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
C G
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
C
Running into the dark underground
Em C D
All the subways around create a great sound
C G
To my motion fatigue farewell
With your ear to a seashell
C
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
Em C D G
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
[Chorus]
D Em C G
Time together is just never quite enough
D Em G C
When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
D Em C G
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
D Em G C
We need time, only time
D Em C G
When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?
D Em G C
If this is what I call home, I've never felt so alone
D Em C G
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
D Em G C
All the time, all the time
[Verse 2]
C G
Can you believe that the crew has gone, and wouldn't let me sign on?
C Em C D
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
C G
I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights
C
I guess I'll never know, why sparrows love the snow
Em C D G
Well, turn off all of the lights, and set this ballroom aglow
D Em C G
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
D Em G C
All the time
[Kembali ke Chorus]
[Outro]
C
Time together is just never quite enough
G
When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?
C
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Em C D
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
C
All the time
