    G 
There are miles between us 
 
Time between us 
         Am7 
There is something between us 
           D7             Cm7 
I may be a fool to dream of you 
                                       G 
But, God, it feels so good to dream it all 
                    D7 
Something short and sweet  
                 G 
There's always lot of my head for you 
                   C 
I am waiting, I am waiting 
                           Bm     Am7 
Time will always try to kill me 
          Bm 
There are mountains between us 
          Am7 
There is time between us 
                          G 
Oh, ain't there something between us? 
 
Something short and sweet 
        D7 
I don't care if I should 
             G 
Do you wanna hurt me? 
                        C 
'Cause I've been hurtin' all over 
 
It didn't kill me, no 
              Bm  Am7 
But, it wasn't no fun 
         D7 
Come and get you some 
         B7 
Just the beginning 
                E7 
I only want the beginning 
                             Am7 
We'll give each other all of our best 
                      D7 
And then, time can do what it wants with it 
          Bm                Am7 
There are mountains between us 
              G 
There is time between us 
 
Oh, ain't there something between us? 
 
Something short and sweet 
                D7 
So, why can't I wait? 
 
    G 
Why can't I wait? 
 
Why can't I think? 
                             Am7 
Why can't I wake without you always appearing? 
 
                   D7 
Lord, I better not wait too long 
                     Bm 
'Cause time is gonna kill it 
              Am7 
Time is gonna kill it 
              Bm 
Time is gonna kill it 
              Am7     D7     G 
Time is gonna kill it
