                    Cm
To treasure gold is fun
A#                  Cm        A#
Brother, drop your bag at once
         Cm
From the air to the people
                   A#
A mass to take you on
          Cm
From the clock to the past
                 A#
A future that I own
                 Cm    A#
And to find just one other
 Cm                          A#
Seems to be the goal of everyone
          Cm
From the search to the hurt
                           A#
I believed I could take you on
          Cm
We would drink, we would dance
                                    A#
And you would watch me whenever you want

Chorus:
                     F
And can you give me, everything
                 Cm
Everything, everything
                     A#
Cos I can't give you anything
            F            D#
And if you wait, if you wait
         F                              Cm
I will trust in time that we will meet again
       A#
If you wait

If letters spell out words, son
You chose to put them in order, didn't you?
From the meaning, the moment you tried to take me on
From the air to the room a bed that I own

Chorus:
And can you give me everything?
Everything, everything
'Cause I can't give you anything
And if you wait, if you wait
I will trust in time that we will meet again
If you wait, woah, ooh
I will trust in time that we will meet again
No, no, no, no, no, ooh
No, no, no, no, no, ooh
