B F# A E
As the days go by without number one by one

As the clouds divide I sit and wonder when our time will come
E G#m
From the Northern lights to the Southern cross
E F#
Between the Earth and the Milky way
E G#m
I must chart my course as I go back and forth
A
And I wonder if it ever will change
B F# A E
Someday... maybe not so far away
B F# A E
Oneday... I'll be in your arms to stay
Em
You don't know what I'd give
Em
You don't know how it is
Em B F# A E
You don't know what I'd give, to stay
B F# A E
Another day, another night is over and what have we to show
B F# A E
Another mile, hello, goodbye there's a million more to go
E G#m
To overcome my fear when I'm way up here
E F#
I close my eyes and silently pray
E G#m
And it's too sad a fate for me to contemplate
A
All the precious time is slipping away
B F# A E
Someday... maybe not so far away
B F# A E
Oneday... I'll be in your arms to stay
Em
You don't know what I'd give
Em
You don't know how it is

You don't know what I'd give, so stay
