[Verse 1]{strumming pattern: d du udu udu udu}
C#m G#m
Time shakes, found you at the water

Earthquakes shake the dust behind you

This world at times will blind you

A F#m C#m
Come a little closer then you'll see

Come on, come on, come on
A F#m C#m
Things aren’'t always what they seem to be
C#m
Come on, come on, come on
A F#m C#m
Do you understand the things that you've been seein'
C#m
Come on, come on, come on
A F#m C#m
Do you understand the things that you've been dreaming

Still I know I'll see you there

Come on, come on, come on
A F#m C#m
Do you understand the things that you've been seein'
C#m
Come on, come on, come on
A F#m C#m
Do you understand the things that you've been dreaming
A F#m C#m
Come a little closer then you'll see
A F#m C#m
Come a little closer then you'll see

{Strumming pattern: single downstrum}
A F#m C#m F#m G#m
Ten thousand people stand alone now
A F#m C#m
And in the evening the sun sets,
F#m G#m A
Tomorrow it will rise

Time flies by, they all sing along

Time flies by, they all sing along

Time flies by, by
