Bm                  D
Million miles from home
and I finally meet
    A
someone like you
but we'll just be
Em
separated soon
Bm                  D
you say don't overthink
and that we should try
     A
and make the most of
      Em
this time before it goes

        G
And I knew when this had started
         D
how it'd end (just how it ended)
       G
But I can't live life in hiding
      F#
and I don't regret a thing

Chorus:
G       D          A
All we needed was time
Countdown now until
             G
the morning light
        D        A
And the ocean divides
Thrown back to the
                 G
lives we left behind
               D
Can't help but think of
          A                 Bm
all the things we could've had
         G     A
We just never got a chance

Bm                   D
As we said our goodbyes
I had to fight the
        A
urge to up and move
          Em
and start over here with you
Bm                 D
Maybe it wouldn't work
and this whole thing was
     A                Em
just meant to be left as a memory

      G
And I knew when this had started
         D         Em  D/F#
how it'd end (just how it ended)
       G
But I can't live life in hiding
      F#
and I don't regret a thing

Chorus

Em
promised you some day
    F#m
I'd make it back again
    G
but even if I did would
   A
it ever be the same

G      D/F#        A
All we needed was time
G      D/F#       A
All we needed was time

Chorus:
G       D          A
All we needed was time
Countdown now until
             G
the morning light
        D        A
And the ocean divides
Thrown back to the
                 G
lives we left behind
                 D
Can't help but think of
          A                 Bm
all the things we could've had
         G     A
We just never got a chance

G       D          A
All we needed was time
