Fm           G#     A#m C#
Took a long time to mend
Took a long time to make amends
Funny how the story goes
Strip a man bare and burn his clothes

Chorus:
Fm G# A#m     C#    Fm G# A#m
Time      is all I crave
   C#        Fm G# A#m
It comes in waves
   C#      Fm     G#    A#m C#
I will be here until I drown

System's on overload
Goes to bed warm, but wakes up cold
What a bloody cross to bear
Time on my hands but I don't care

Chorus:
Days are all the same
They wax and wane
I will be here until I drown

Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown

Days are all the same
They wax and wane
I will be here until I drown

Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown
