E In the lonely night. C#m In the stardust of a pale moonlight. F#m I think of you in black and white, Am E when we were made of dreams. I walked alone through the shaky streets Listening to my heart beat In the record-breaking heat When we were born in time Chorus: E B A E Just when I thought you were gone you came back. B E Just when I was ready to receive you. E B You were smooth you were rough. A E You were more than enough. E F#m B Ahh baby, why did I ever leave you? A Or believe you? In the rising curve Where the ways of nature will test every nerve I took you close and got what I deserve When we were born in time Chorus: Just when I knew who to thank, you went blank Just as the firelight was gleaming You were snow, you were rain You were stripes and you were plain Oh babe, can it be you've been scheming? Or was I dreaming? In the hills of mystery In the foggy web of destiny You're still so deep inside of me When we were born in time In time In time In time You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  B  C#m  E  F#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
