These are the times
G
Tears fill the back of your eyes
              Am
These are the times

The birds migrate
             C
Across the skies

These are the times

What hope you had you forget

These wicked times

You're bound to feel

All sanity is lost

By the sight of lost desires

This is my fear
       G
That distance will come between us
              Am
And it could mean nothing

Nothing
    G                C
To get from here to there

C
We own the world

And everything that's in it
              Am
Let our love shine

Like glistening raindrops
 G           C
Resting on a rose

Your passion is the food
