* for the C ^ just do a normal C chord, and use your pinky to hit the B string on the third fret.

Verse 1:
                             
Joshua smiled, said listen to reason, 
                                           (leads into intro)
Don't blame me when the walls come tumbling down.

                              
So I was adrift on the sea of longing,
                                         (leads into intro) 
awaiting the trumpets to raise your ivory gown.


Chorus:
                    
And if on-ly time will tell,
         
Then I can't stand waiting
                                
While the lights are changing on me.
                      
Tell it to my own free will.
                            
If I lost this thorn from my side,
             
I think I'd die.


(repeat intro)


Verse 2: (same as Verse 1 in terms of chords)
Albert Camus said, "living is anguish,
but don't dare let those bastards weigh you down."

And if this is so, then I see no reason 
for spending the evening doing anything but going downtown.


Chorus:
                    
And if on-ly time will tell,
         
Then I can't stand waiting
                                
While the lights are changing on me.
                      
Tell it to my own free will.
                            
If I lost this thorn from my side,
             
I'd probably I'd die,
             
Most likely die,
            
I think I'd die.


(repeat intro and end on G)


Enjoy! =)
