D Am
Well, the streets are empty where we used to run,
G Dm
and the cars are all on fire
Am C G
Yeah, we fall like leaves in the garden of Eden, Eden
D Am
Now remember how it felt being in the sun,
G Dm
when I heard the ancient choir
Am C G
And the dead of night like an angel singing, singing
D Am C G
'Cause TIME doesn't love you anymore
D Am C G
But I-I-I I'm still knocking at your door
D Am C G
Honey we can run forever, if forever it's what's in-store
D Am C G
Oh, TIME to take me home
D Am
On a tree in the garden I carved your name,
G Dm
an word is spelled desire
Am C G
Like an ocean deep with the waters even, even
D Am
And the love pours down like a waterfall,
G Dm
and I can't escape the tide
Am C G
Here's my hand, baby take it or leave it, leave it
D Am C G
'Cause TIME doesn't love you anymore
D Am C G
But I-I-I I'm still knocking at your door

Oh, TIIIIIIIIIIIME to take me home-ooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Now we're too young to recognize
C G
Nothing stays the same
Dm Am G
Promise I won't be the one to blame
D Am C G
'Cause TIME doesn't love you anymore

But I-I-I I'm still knocking at your door
D Am C G
Honey we can run forever, if forever it's what's in-store
