Far beyond the things you see

Time rolls on eternally

  Just can't live without it
[Verse 2]
Em              D#aug
Sitting there inside your mind

Just waiting for the clock to chime

 On a lonely line

  Stood a lonely man

No pictures on an empty wall

  Bm7                |  Em     Em/D |
Nobody there no one at all

     Cmaj7               Bm7
Just echoes in the ivory halls

               | Em   D/E | Em |
When time stood still     (break)
[Verse 3]
Em              D#aug
Days line up outside the door

Thought time had stopped there was no more
[Interlude] | Em6 | % | [Bridge]
F#m7-5              | B7+5  B7 |
  Been a lonely world

  Such a lonely world
[Chorus]

No pictures on an empty wall

  Bm7                  |  Em     Em/D |
No Toulouse, Vincent or Pablo

     Cmaj7               Bm7
Just echoes in the ivory halls

               | Em   D/E | Em   Em D |
When time stood still     (break)
[Chorus]
   C                    D/C
No big machine or April showers

   Bm7                  |  Em     Em/D |
No submarines, no plastic flowers

Just echoes in the ivory towers
[Coda]
                Gmaj7
When time stood still

   When time stood still

Cmaj7              Gmaj7
   When time stood still

   When time stood still
