Em           D              C
No life's so short it can't turn around
Em                   D           C
You can't spend your life living underground
Em        D              C
For from above you don't hear a sound

[Chorus]

        G
And I'm out here, waiting
  C                         D
I don't understand what you want me to be
         G                        C
It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am
      D                           Em    D   C
But I know that it's all that you see

Em   D   C

[Verse]

Em           D             C
No life's so short that it never learns
Em          D             C
No flame so small that it never burns
Em         D            C
No page so sure that it never turns

[Chorus]

        G
And I'm out here, waiting
  C                         D
I don't understand what you want me to be
         G                        C
It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am
      D                           G
But I know that it's all that you see

[Canon section]

1.
G                           D/F#                         C
Can you live your life in a day, putting every moment in play?
                            D                     G
Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around
                            D/F#                                C
Tell me if you win would it show in a thousand years, who would know?
                            D
As a million lives come and go on this same piece of ground

2.
G         D/F#
I've been waiting
  C                         D
I don't understand what you want me to be
         G           D/F#
It's the dark you're hating
     C                    D
It's not who I am, but it is what you see

3.
G
Tell me would you really want to
D/F#
See me leave this night without you
C
Would you ever look about you
D                        G
Wondering where we might be

New York is so far away now
D/F#
Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow
C
Only dreams from here but somehow
D                          G
One day that world we will see

4.
  G
I don't understand
  D/F#
I don't understand
  C
I don't understand
  D
I don't understand
  G
I don't understand
  D/F#
I don't understand
  C
I don't understand
  D
I don't understand
       G
What I see.

[Guitar solo]

G      D/F#     C      D     (x4)

[Outro]

  G                     D/F#
I swear on tomorrow, if you take this chance
    C                          D
Our lives are this moment, the music the dance
    G                         D/F#
And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries
C                       D                           G
I close my eyes on this night and you're all that I see
D/F#     C      D
                  G
You're all that I see

D/F#     C      D
