F Fsus2 Am   C   F  Fsus2 Am      Amadd9
Another bad day, waste of promise

Are we  really getting near?

There's      nothing for you to prove
[Pre-Chorus]

Is it funny or is it sad?

We leave and enter on our own

Is it funny or is it sad?

We never really know anyone

I'm waiting for a hero to save the day

What    is there left to see?
[Pre-Chorus]

Now smash your keyboard into their faces, a silence so satisfying

I can understand why you left your home, I can understand

F  G
(Oh) Waiting for the rain, the rain to stop
[Verse 3]
       F    Fsus2     Am      C         F       Fsus2     Am      Amadd9
'Cause I'm a boy and you're a girl and what else is there in this world?

       F    Fsus2     Am      C         F   Esus4              E
I can make you smile, I can make you laugh, what else is there in this world?

    F      Fsus2    Am    C         F        Fsus2     Am      Amadd9
So take my hand and marry me, I'll make your branches sprout a-green

       F    Fsus2     Am      C         F   Esus4              E
I can make you smile, I can make you laugh, what else is there in this world?

And if you take my hand

      E               F
I'll lead you to the promised land

      Dm         Am             E  F
Just call in sick, our time is now

     Dm           Am
I've got so much love to give

   E           F
A vessel to receive it

                 Dm   Am           E  F
Take the day off work, our time is now, our time is now
