[Intro] A7sus2 Am7 A7 Am7 A7sus2 Am7 A7 Am7 [Verse 1]
A7sus2  Am7        A7            Am7
I can't answer the questions you ask me,

  A7sus2             Am7   A7   Am7
I don't know what to say.

    A7sus2      Am7       A7          Am7
The answers are somewhere lost in the stars

A7sus2                 A7        A7sus4
    when the night has turned to day.

      D                      Bm
But I know if the silence of night could be here,

         F                         Bb
It would drift through my soul and calm all my fear

Bm7b5                        E                   Amaj7  Bm   E7
   And I could reach out and draw you so near to me
A7sus2 Am7 A7 Am7 [Verse 2]
    A7sus2       Am7         A7         Am7
And touch me and warm me and I will lie still.

    A7sus2       Am7       A7         Am7
And all that you ask me to give you I will

A7sus2          Am7          A7           Am7
     One living moment we'll have for our own.

  A7sus2         A7           A7sus4
A brief flash of time that we spent all alone.

        D                      Bm
But you ask me for nothing and give what you can

          F                      Bb
And we're wrapped in a pillow of sleep once again

Bm7b5                   E
   And my memory drifts through the universe,

         A7sus2  A7  A7sus4   A7
   When, we  are one.
[Refrain 1]
A7sus2             A7  A7sus4   A7
Closely...

A7sus2             A7  A7sus4   A7
    We're falling...

A7sus2             A7  A7sus4   A7
    Through time.
A7sus2 Am7 A7 Am7 [Verse 3]
A7sus2                 Am7         A7         Am7
    And the earth will turn in the silence of space,

A7sus2    Am7        A7        Am7
Always in motion yet always in place

    A7sus2     Am7         A7                   Am7
And all things will change yet remain what they are.

    A7sus2               A7           A7sus4
And far will be near and near will be far

        D                    Bm
And the ages will darken and blend into time

    F                       Bb
And all that is poetry will no longer rhyme

Bm7b5                            E
   But our moment together is forever sublime.
A7sus2 Am7 A7 Am7 [Verse 4]
A7sus2               Am7          A7         Am7
  For the time has arrived when we must understand

           A7sus2    Am7          A7           Am7
That we're lost in a void on this sad speck of sand

A7sus2         Am7            A7          Am7
    And nobody knows where we are, no one cares

        A7sus2                    A7          A7sus4
And the tears that we shed in the dark no one cares

        D                       Bm
And the madmen who plunder this world for their fame

        F                    Bb
Have forgotten that no one remembers their name

Bm7b5                             E
    But time and the universe are always the same
A7sus2 A7 A7sus4 A7 [Refrain 2]
A7sus2  A7  A7sus4   A7
Closely...

Em                 Cmaj7/E    Em6    Cmaj7/E
   We're falling...

Cmaj13             Cmaj7    Cmaj13    Cmaj7    Cmaj13    Cmaj7    Cmaj13
    Through time.
