Verse 2- (Play the above interlude lead for the first half of the Verse 2)
Cadd9
  As hours move to minutes 
And minutes take longer to break 
I will be desperately awaiting 
But my tongue won't fall apart 
And we've been sitting here for hours 
All alone and in the dark 
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                 G (320003@1)    Gsus2 (3x0233@1) So let me think of to word it 
Em/D (010000@1)                   Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Is it too soon to say 'perfect'? 
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                   G (320003@1)            Gsus2 (3x0233@1) If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere 
         Em/DI'm (010000@1)sure everything would find me 
           Dsus4All (xx0233@1)that's left is just to sing 




Chorus 2-
            GAnd (320003@1)I'll be here by the ocean

                  Gsus2like (3x0233@1)the ashes of cigarettes 
    Dsus4 (xx0233@1)                     Em/D (010000@1)name="chord_3x0233@1">Gsus2
And every waves drags me to sea 
         GI (320003@1)could stand here for hours 
Just to ask God the question
    Em/D (010000@1)"Is everyone here make-believe?" 
       Cadd9With (x32030@1)a tear in His voice
He said, "Son, that's the question." 
          Dsus4Does (xx0233@1)this deafening silence
