Capo 2
Intro: D A D A
D A
You don't have to ask me why
D A
Because I know you'd understand
D A
All the treasures of my life
D A
Are right here in my hand
Em G
Suspended in a moment
A
No more breath to catch
Em G
If you hold onto your end
A
Maybe we can make this last
[Refrão]
D Bm A
This is the greatest time of day
D Bm A
When all the clocks are spinning backwards
D Bm A
And all the ropes that bind begin to fray
Bm F#m A D
And all the black and white turns into colors
I don't wanna build a wall
Or draw a line across the sand
Because there's room for one and all
And this land is our land
Oh, I hope this can go on and on and on
Before the skipping stone hits the surface of the pond
Oh, I know that life is never very long
One second, then one minute, and then it's gone
Chorus
Bm Em
You want to sink into the colors on the wall
F#m A
But all the while you are the brightest of them all
Chorus
(Same as chorus)
This is the greatest time of day
When there's no you and there's no others
And all the rules grow wings and fly away
And all the black and white turns into colors
D A D
Colors Aaaaah Ah
A, D
