  			Intro: Fmaj7/C 

Fmaj7/C                  Dm9/F 
The soft unsettled quiet from  
Dm/F                      Cm       Ebmaj7  -  Dm9/F 
A million questions never answered 
Fmaj7/C              Dm9/F 
Expecting conversational  
Dm/F                    Cm     Ebmaj7  -  Dm9/F 
Return more akin to diapason 

F - G - Am7 - B*         Fmaj7/C 
Hope for reason fades away 
F - G - Am7 - B*             Fmaj7/C        F - G - A - Bb 
A hint of heartache in it's place 

Cm          Fmaj7/C   Abmaj7     Fmaj7/C           Db         Ab 
Gone is the time when i could survive nursing on a sweet naivetã© 
   Eb         Fmaj7/C 
Waiting for you 

Fmaj7/C                 Dm9/F 
But i'll still hold on hope 
   Dm/F                            Cm           Ebmaj7  -  Dm9/F 
As frail as the evening's ghostly gloam 

F - G - Am7 - B*           Fmaj7/C               F - G - A - Bb 
Staring till' the stars align 

Cm          Fmaj7/C   Abmaj7     Fmaj7/C           Db         Ab 
Gone is the time when i could survive nursing on a sweet naivetã©

Waiting for you 

Fmaj7/C  -  Dm9/F  -  E7  -  Am  -  Bb6(b5)  -  A7  -  Abmaj7  -  G 

    C         C/G       Fmaj7/C 
And still we stand here praying 
    C         C/G    Fmaj7/C 
For something more divine 
    C     C/G        Fmaj7/C 
Our hands clasped so tightly 
    C            C/G        Fmaj7/C 
But our eyes are closed and shy 

   C    C/G   Fmaj7/C 
We move along  
             C       C/G      Fmaj7/C 
When there's nothing left for us 
   C    C/G   Fmaj7/C 
We move along  
             C       C/G      Fmaj7/C   B 
When there's nothing left for us       here.
