C Am                Em F
Getting through to you
Is what I'm aiming for
Won't you hear me now
Like you've done before

Dm G                   Em    F
Are we going round in circles
Are we running out of time, are we
Are we losing something precious
Are we hanging onto something special

Em        Dm
I think so

Chorus:
  Dm                C
'Cause when you're conquering
            Em
My day and night
 Am
Easing,
            F
The pain inside
        C
Got me laughing,
            Em
All of the time
          Am
Keep the bad things
           F
Out of my mind, yeah

Eyes caressing my skin
Undressing my every flaw
Ooh will we sink, or swim
We're blinded on an empty shore

Are we going round in circles
Are we running out of time, are we
Are we losing something precious
Are we hanging onto something special
I think so

Chorus:
'Cause when you're conquering my day and night
Easing the pain inside
Got me loving all of the time
Keep the bad things out of my mind, out of my mind

I don't mind wasting time
Let's stop and smell the roses
I don't mind wasting time
Let's stop and smell the roses
Ooh, How I know the eyes is that high
Is ever need to hang me out to dry
Ooh help me, please
My hands are tired
Don't have the courage to tell you goodbye

Chorus:
'Cause when you're conquering my day and night
Easing the pain inside
Got me loving all of the time
Keep the bad things out of my mind, out of my mind

Chorus:
'Cause when you're conquering, my day and night
Easing the pain inside
Got me loving all of the time
Keep the bad things out of my mind, out of my mind
'Cause when you're conquering, my day and night
Easing the pain inside
Got me loving all of the time
Keep the bad things out of my mind, out of my mind

I don't mind wasting time
Let's stop and smell the roses
I don't mind wasting time
Let's stop and smell the roses
