Em D C
No life's so short it can't turn around
Em D C
You can't spend your life living underground
Em D C
For from above you don't hear a sound
[Chorus]
G
And I'm out here, waiting
C D
I don't understand what you want me to be
G C
It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am
D Em D C
But I know that it's all that you see
Em D C
[Verse]
Em D C
No life's so short that it never learns
Em D C
No flame so small that it never burns
Em D C
No page so sure that it never turns
[Chorus]
G
And I'm out here, waiting
C D
I don't understand what you want me to be
G C
It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am
D G
But I know that it's all that you see
[Canon section]
1.
G D/F# C
Can you live your life in a day, putting every moment in play?
D G
Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around
D/F# C
Tell me if you win would it show in a thousand years, who would know?
D
As a million lives come and go on this same piece of ground
2.
G D/F#
I've been waiting
C D
I don't understand what you want me to be
G D/F#
It's the dark you're hating
C D
It's not who I am, but it is what you see
3.
G
Tell me would you really want to
D/F#
See me leave this night without you
C
Would you ever look about you
D G
Wondering where we might be
New York is so far away now
D/F#
Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow
C
Only dreams from here but somehow
D G
One day that world we will see
4.
G
I don't understand
D/F#
I don't understand
C
I don't understand
D
I don't understand
G
I don't understand
D/F#
I don't understand
C
I don't understand
D
I don't understand
G
What I see.
[Guitar solo]
G D/F# C D (x4)
[Outro]
G D/F#
I swear on tomorrow, if you take this chance
C D
Our lives are this moment, the music the dance
G D/F#
And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries
C D G
I close my eyes on this night and you're all that I see
D/F# C D
G
You're all that I see
D/F# C D
