Time Heals

         Am                 Dm               Am                      G
Thinking back, it seems that I can lie beside you like I never truly did
   F           G  Am
In afterglow - no afterwords at all.
Am           F/A  Am    F/A   Am   G
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead
F            Dm/A   F     Dm/A      F   Em
only paying words out, strings of half-forgotten sentiment.
F Em
I mean...
Em F

I never really quite could say the way it was.

    Am                                  F
The first time that we met I thought 'I bet that she's the one"
          Esus4                      E7 E
but I was talking to myself than, as always.
   Am                                 F
As time went by our steps entwined, unwritten lines grew taut, and I
Esus4                           E7 E
tried to find a way to make it all safe.
 Am              G
Into the play - what a production!
 F                 E
Into the days and ever more suction
    Am             G
You hold me close, hold me farther
 F                                E
away from yourself - I make me a martyr,
    Am       G       F       E
for pain and love go hand in hand...

     Am                                    F
And hand in hand go you and my friend, you are his and I am yours
    Esus4          E7   E
and I just cannot evade you.
    Am                                  F
My days are dream, my nights unseemly, stolen moments all I live for,
    Esus4                 E7    E
but theft is no way to persuade you
   Am              G
to come with me, leave him behind you,
    F                   E
my hurtful eyes try to remind you,
    Am               G
it's all I can do to keep on screaming
    F                                      E
'I love you, I love you!' - I wish I were dreaming,
        Em       D        C     B
but the steps we take all leave footprints.

D  G/D D  G/D D D   G/D   D     G/D  D  D
Sooner or later the whole thing will be blown
A   D/A  A     D/A A  A    D/A A   D/A   A A
You will leave him or I'll be left here, alone.
D G/D  D   G/D D   D G/D D   G/D
Either way someone loses someone
G C/D   G    C/G   G G    C/G   G     G  G  A
I don't mind that, I just would quite like to know who we love the most,
                      A
but I guess that's ourselves.

    Am                                     F
The days are strange, at night we're stangers, lie in bed and lie inside
    Esus4                             E7 E
our heads, we come no closer than as dancers.
      Am                                     F
Your eyes are change, your presence danger, won't look me in the eye and
       Esus4                   E7 E
yet you kiss, and make up the answer
           Am                     G
to all the questions that lie unanswered, unreasoned,
 F                  E
death in the sky, death in the season,
   Am                    G
if you leave me now, it might nearly kill me
 F
Remember me?
             E
Remember we three?
Em      D     C                 B
It all seemed so important at the time
Em          D        C                B
We came so close to wrecking all our lives
Em            D        C     B
And now it's all just song lines...
Em       D C B
Time heals,
Em       D C B
Time heals...
Em         D    C        B
oh, but I still bear the weals...

         Am                 Dm               Am              G
Thinking back, it seems that I can lie beside you as I never truly did
   F           G  Am
In afterglow - no afterwords at all.
