C#            G#  	  
Time has told me  
C#                 G#   G#7 
You're a rare rare find  
G#7        C#  A#m 
A troubled cure 
A#m            D#   C# 
For a troubled mind   
C#           G# 
And time has told me  
C#             G#    
Not to ask for more  
G#7         C#   A#m 
Someday our ocean  
A#m             D# 
Will find it's shore   
C                               B 
So I`ll leave the ways that are making me be  
E                   A# 
What I really don't want to be  
C                       B 
Leave the ways that are making me love  
E                   A#       D#  C# 
What I really don't want to love.   
C#            G# 
Time has told me  
C#                     G# 
That you came with the dawn  
G#7            C#     A#m 
A soul with no footprint  
A#m            D#   C# 
A rose with no thorn   
                G# 
Your tears they tell me  
C#                G#  G#7            C#   A#m 
There's really no way of ending your troubles  
A#m                 D#  C# 
With things you can say   
              G#       C#            G#    G#7 
And time will tell you to stay by my side  
              C#     A#m                     D#   
And I keep on trying 'til there's no more to hide.   
C                          B 
So leave the ways that are making you be  
E                     A# 
What you really don't want to be  
C                       B 
Leave the ways that are making you love  
E                     A#      D#   C# 
What you really don't want to love.  
C#       G#      C#                 G#  G#7

Well some day our ocean will find its shore
