If you see my friend can you  
Dm                        C  
tell him that I'm waiting just around the next bend  
F      Bb  
Its alright with me if he  
Dm                C  
takes all day its only 'cos he don't believe

VERSE:  
F        Bb  
Do you remember when we  
Dm                    C  
walked into the water swam beneath the setting sun  
F        Bb  
That was all back then and  
Dm                    C  
all that I remember's enough to live the time again  

 
F     Gm           Bb    C  
We were just wasting time  
F     Gm           Bb    C  
We were just wasting time   
 
BRIDGE:  
Am  
And if you want my word then  
C                   Bb  
sit right down I'll sing it to you  
Am  
And if you dont believe this  
C                     Bb  
thing right there I'll bring it to you  
Eb              Bb  
Life is for the living  
       Eb                Bb  
and as hard as you might try  
       Eb                Bb          C  
If you wait for just one second it's goodbye
