Em                    Am6
The world around us, hangs in doubt
Em                       Am6
You face a crime that we'll hear about
Em                    Am7           Dmaj7
To pay the cost would never be the same
Em                   Am6
Eternal lovers we're not to blame
Em                         Am6
There's no mistake there's no refrain
Em                          Am7
The same surroundings that stood
          Cmaj7        Em
Are here again - this time

Chorus:
      Bm7   Em       Bm7       Em
As I look around you can't be found
    C9
To lose you I'd rather see
    G        D        Em      D       C
The endless time of space go passing by
      D    Em    C
This time around
      D    Em
This time around
Am7       Bm7     C            D
So look around we all will be found
Em
In love

The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lover you're not to blame
There's no mistake there's no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again - this time...

As I look around you can't be found,
To lose you, I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
Am7              Bm7
To lose you I'd rather see
    C                 D               A
The endless time of space go passing by
  C
Fly
Em
By
