     Nothing else sounds the same  
                     G  
     As hearing your name  
 
 
             D  
     You can kill a lot of time  
             C                   G  
     If you really put your mind to it  
         D  
     Or leave it all behind  
             C               Em  
     And you never ever go through it

     And you never really have to go through it  
 
F                       C  
     What else can I do  
                         G
