  			F         C       F                  C 
 Time has told me you're a rare rare find 
Bb           F    Dm    Dm/C     G7/B    G 
  A troubled cure for a troubled mind 
F               C      F               C 
   And time has told me not to ask for more 
Eb                F     Dm   Dm/C     G/B   G 
  For someday our ocean will find its shore 

Chorus #1: 
E7                         Eb 
So I'll leave the ways of making me be 
Fm7/C               D(no3rd)/A 
What I really don't want to be 
E7                  Eb 
Leave the ways of making me love 
Fm7/C               D(no3rd)/A 
What I really don't want to love 

Time has told me you came with the dawn 
A sole with no footprint a rose with no thorn 
Your tears they tell me there's really no way 
Of ending your troubles with things you can say 
And time will tell you to stay by my side 
To keep on trying till there's no more to hide 

Chorus #2: 
So you'll leave the ways of making you be 
What you really don't want to be 
Leave the ways of making you love 
What you really don't want to love 

Time has told me you're a rare rare find 
A troubled cure for a troubled mind 
And time has told me not to ask for more 
For someday our ocean will find its shore
