[Intro]

Em C C6 C B7 Am

 

[Verse 1]

Em
Hush hush
Em 
Don't say a word
    C      C6       C         C6
The faint cries can hardly be heard
 B7                              Am       Em
A storm lies beyond the horizon barely
 

Em
Don't stop
Em
Sweep through the days
      C   C6         C         C6
Like chil-dren that can't stay awake
B7                                     Am
Stay here untainted and say

 

 

[Chorus]

Em
Stay while the melody's sung
C                       C6                  C
Break like a wave on the run
B7      
I do be sure I can't say anymore
       Am   C6        Am            Em
I just know that it won't last forever

 

 

 

[Verse 2]

Em
Rush rush
Em
Take me away
     C         C6        C     C6
Like hourglass sand that never escapes
B7                                            Am          Em
Stars are born and then die but carefree
 

Em 
A small clock 
Em
that ticks without time
    C       C6     C       C
And watched by an ocean of eyes
B7                                 Am 
Ending ascending and then

 

 

[Chorus]

Em
Stay while the melody's sung
C                       C6                  C
Break like a wave on the run
B7      
I do be sure I can't say anymore
       Am                           C6            
I just know that it won't last 
       Am                 C6               Em
I just know that it won't last forever

 

 

[Outro]

Em C C6 C B7 Am
