All I have

I can watch my daughter play

That I'm better off this way

I should write it down

I could be a better husband

I should be a better husband

So I'm wasting time instead
[Verse 3: Clare]
                   E
I would stop right now

On an ordinary day

And forgеt about tomorrow

I don't need to see tomorrow

                 E
Just to see your smile

                        E/G#
And make breakfast in a rush

Sharе a quiet cup of coffee

First, the chaos, then the hush

Till they slip away

And time never stood still
