If you see my friend can you  
D5                        C5  
tell him that I'm waiting just around the next bend  
F5      Bb5  
Its alright with me if he  
D5                C5  
takes all day its only 'cos he don't believe

F5        Bb5  
Do you remember when we  
D5                    C5  
walked into the water swam beneath the setting sun  
F5        Bb5  
That was all back then and  
D5                    C5  
all that I remember's enough to live the time again  

 
F5     G5           Bb5    C5  
We were just wasting time  
F5     G5           Bb5    C5  
We were just wasting time

And if you want my word then  
C5                   Bb5  
sit right down I'll sing it to you  
A5  
And if you dont believe this  
C5                     Bb5  
thing right there I'll bring it to you  
Eb5              Bb5  
Life is for the living  
       Eb5                Bb5  
and as hard as you might try  
       Eb5                Bb5          C5  
If you wait for just one second it's goodbye
