F C
I opened my eyes last night, and saw you in the lowlight
F
Walking down by the bay, on the shore
C Am G
Staring up at the planes that aren??t there anymore
F C
I was feeling the night, grow old, and you were looking so cold
Am
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
G
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
F C
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
F
Running into the dark underground
C Am G G
All the subways around create a great sound
F C
To my motion fatigue: farewell
C
With your ear to a seashell
Am
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
G
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
CHORUS*
F
Time together is just never quite enough
C Am
When you and I are alone, I??ve never felt so at home
F C
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Am G
We need time, only time
F
When we??re apart whatever are you thinking of?
C Am G G
If this is what I call home, I??ve never felt so alone
F
So tell me darling, do you wish we??d fall in love?
C Am G
All the time, all the time
VERSE 2
F C
Can you believe that the crew has gone, and wouldn??t let me sign on?
F C Am G
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
F C
I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights
F Am
I guess I??ll never know, why sparrows love the snow
G
We??ll 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)
CHORUS*
F C
Time together is just never quite enough
Am G (or continue with Am)
When you and I are alone, I??ve never felt so at home
F C
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Am G
We need time, only time
F C
When we??re apart whatever are you thinking of?
Am G
If this is what I call home, I??ve never felt so alone
F C
So tell me darling, do you wish we??d fall in love?
Am G
All the time, all the time
OUTRO
F C
Time together is just never quite enough
Am G
When we??re apart whatever are you thinking of?
F C
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
Am G
So tell me darling do you wish we??d fall in love?
C
All the time

*I wrote the 2 choruses differently, because they both sound right. You can try it.
Thanks, and please rate!
