F (133211@1)                   CI (x32010@1)opened my eyes last night, and saw you in the lowlight
FWalking (133211@1)down by the bay, on the shore
C (x32010@1)               Am (x02210@1)                     GStaring (320003@1)up at the planes that aren't there anymore
F (133211@1)                           CI (x32010@1)was feeling the night, grow old, and you were looking so cold
AmLike (x02210@1)an introvert, I drew my over shirt
GAround (320003@1)my arms and began to shiver violently before
F (133211@1)                      CYou (x32010@1)happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
FRunning (133211@1)into the dark underground
C (x32010@1)             Am (x02210@1)            G (320003@1)   GAll (320003@1)the subways around create a great sound
F (133211@1)                   CTo (x32010@1)my motion fatigue: farewell
CWith (x32010@1)your ear to a seashell
AmYou (x02210@1)can hear the waves in underwater caves
   GAs (320003@1)if you actually were inside a saltwater room

CHORUS*
FTime (133211@1)together is just never quite enough
C (x32010@1)                    AmWhen (x02210@1)you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
F (133211@1)                          CWhat (x32010@1)will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Am (x02210@1)          GWe (320003@1)need time, only time
FWhen (133211@1)we're apart whatever are you thinking of?
C (x32010@1)                          Am (x02210@1)       G (320003@1)  GIf (320003@1)this is what I call home, I've never felt so alone
FSo (133211@1)tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
C (x32010@1)          Am (x02210@1)     GAll (320003@1)the time, all the time

VERSE 2
F (133211@1)                               CCan (x32010@1)you believe that the crew has gone, and wouldn't let me sign on?
F (133211@1)                                   C (x32010@1)             Am (x02210@1)          GAll (320003@1)my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
F (133211@1)                           CI (x32010@1)feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights
F (133211@1)                     AmI (x02210@1)guess I'll never know, why sparrows love the snow
GWe'll (320003@1)turn off all of the lights, and set this ballroom aglow
C (it works but idk if it goes with the song)
(Tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love?)
Am (same as above)
(All the time)

When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
F (133211@1)                          CWhat (x32010@1)will it take to make or break this hint of love?
