[Verso 1]
 
Em D
Time here
C G
All but means nothing
D Em C
Just shadows that move 'cross the wall
Em D C G
They keep me company, but they don't ask of me
D Em C
They don't say nothin' at all
 
D C
I need just a little more silence
D Am
And I need just a little more time
 
Em D C G
You send your thieves to me, silently stalking me
D Em C
Dragging me into your war
Em D C G
Would you give me no choice in this? I know you can't
Resist
D Em C
Trying to re-open a sore
 
D G C
Leave me be, I don't want to argue
D G Am D
I'd just get confused, and I'd come all undone
D G C
And if I agree, well it's just to appease you
G Em C G
Cause I don't remember, what we're fighting for
 
( G Em C )
 
[Verso 2]
 
Em D
You see love
C G D Em
A tight thorny thread that you spin in a circle of
C
Gold
Em D C G
You have me to hold me, a token for all to see
D Em C
Captured to be yours alone
D C
I need just a little more silence
D Am
And I need just a little more time
 
Em D
The courage to pull away
C G
There will be hell to pay
D Em C
The deeper you cut to the bone
 
D G C
Leave me be, I don't want to argue
D G Am D
I'd just get confused, and I'd come all undone
D G C
And if I agree, well it's just to appease you
G Em C G
Cause I don't remember, what we're fighting for
 
( D Am D )
( Am D Am C )
