Verse 

C 
I’ve been waiting patiently here 
Am 
With a porters love song, a bottle of beer 
Dm                                  C    Cadd9 
A dream, I keep, alive in my sleep 

C 
I’ve been treading dark deep through the night 
Am 
Beyond the brave, the wild tiki light 
Dm                               C    Cadd9 
Turning moons over, away I run 

 
Dm                               C     Cadd9 
Well give me some rain, wash me away 
Dm                           C     Cadd9 
Wake me up easy, I might be okay 
Dm               Em             A             Dm    G 
Give me some time, give me some time away from home 
C            A                 Dm     G      C 
Give me some time to let things go 

Verse 
C 
I’ve been looking out over the roam 
Am 
Shadowed in mountain, afraid to move on 
Dm                                            C    Cadd9 
It’s hard to think I’ve been at this for days 

C 
Well I don’t know if I’ll ever get home 
Am 
Beside the fire, young foot in the stone 
Dm                                       C    Cadd9 
I feel that breeze, it’s calling my name 

 
Dm                               C     Cadd9 
Well give me some rain, wash me away 
Dm                           C     Cadd9 
Wake me up easy, I might be okay 
Dm               Em             A             Dm    G 
Give me some time, give me some time away from home 
C            A                 Dm     G      C 
Give me some time to let things go
