Intro: 
G   D   Am 
C   G   D 
G   D   Am 
G   D   C  (walk down to Em) 


Em 
If these walls could talk 
A       Asus4            G 
I’d defer to the furniture, 
Em                                               A    Asus4 
The piano, the table, the bed that we both sleep in, 
G 
These constant silent messengers  

A                   C                                       D 
’Cause there’s a story at the bottom of each fingerprint 
             Am                            D 
That these disregarded artifacts collect 
          G 
And if we boil down these documented memories 
         D 
I have a feeling we should know what to expect  

G          D      Am 
You were right on time 
C      G    D 
Out of nowhere 
G    D    Am 
Right on time 
G   D      C 
And all I need 

A    Aus4    G 
Ooohhh  
A    Aus4    Em 
Ooohhh  

If they won’t talk 
I’ll investigate a formula 
Figures, equations, details of our union, 
The edges of the nebula  

At the end of such a long and noble sacrifice 
All that’s left is to submit my full report 
I’ll have turned all of my hunches into certainties 
That will confirm what I already knew before  

You were right on time 
And out of nowhere 
Right on time 
And all I need  

So I stumble to the steet back from the alleyway 
Everyone can see I’m bleeding through my shirt 
Now I’m describing all my shooter’s features carefully 
And I start to realize just how badly I’ve been hurt  

You were right on time 
And out of nowhere 
You were right on time 
And all I need
