Chords:

Am Am Am Am F C F C ~ Em

Am                        Am
I wish I could believe in   something bigger
Am                     Am
More than these trees, these winds, these oceans
Em                   Em                Am      Am
I wish I could believe  what they tell me

Am                             Am
I saw, I saw, I saw my brother pack his bags and leave
   Am                      Am                          Em         Em
We made our goodbyes and now he is settled down in the city
                         Am
Where he doesn't have to be himself

F                  C  
He used to play an un-tuned guitar
      F                       C
While he sang about me and he  sang about the stars
F              C
I used to dream about another time
    [A] [C]  [A] [C]              Em
And now it's all clear that's the only time I wish would come back

Am Am Am Am

Am                       Am
I wish I could hold on a    little longer
Am                           Am
Still my worried stomach and calm my hunger
Em                    Em                  Am   Am
I wish I could believe   what they taught me

Am                            Am
I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw an old photograph
        Am                          Am                     Em     Em
And the picture that appeared, well it took me back to the time
                  Am    Am 
When she was around

F                     C
She used to play that old mandolin 
        F                   C
And the moon and the sea invited her in
F                 C
I wish that I had told her by then 
     [A] [C]  [A]  [C]           Em
What she knew deep down that she only wished that time would come back

Am Am Am Am

   G   -    Am    -
A new day awaits me
 G  -        Am    -
I could be gone today
  G     -   Am    -
A new day awaits me
 G   -        Am      -
We could be here to stay

F                   C
We used to wait for our heavy storm
   F                  C
To take us away while  something new would form
F                    C
I wish that I could have known it by then 
    [A] [C] [A]  [C]           Em
What we all know now that we're never getting back to those times
