Standard (EADGBE)

I lie here waiting in the dark

 For the morning light

 To come around

Counting the cracks up on the wall

 I'm distracted by

 Every single sign

As I watch the seconds tick away

 I only wish there were less hours in the day

Cause I've grown addicted to your touch

 You know that I've got a craving

 I need it so much

Chorus

Time passes so slowly

 When you're far away

 This is the last time that

I leave you this way

Verse

I'm listening to the ticking clock

 Watching at the hands creeping round and round

Just like a kid kept after school

 Only difference is

 I'm a grown man now

Sometimes I stop and wonder why

 I'm spending every night alone

 Just killing time

But I guess that's just the price you pay

 Oh but it feels like I'm wishing my life away

Chorus

Time passes so slowly

 When you're far away

 This is the last time that

I leave you this way

Bridge

I know it won't be long

Till I'm back in your loving arms

 I won't be right

I'm letting my impressions

Get the better of me

 I can't take it any longer

 I need you baby

Chorus

 You Know time passes so slowly

 When you're far away

 This is the last time that

I leave you this way

Verse

Sometimes I stop and wonder why

 I'm spending every night alone

 Just killing time

But I guess that's just the price you pay

 Oh but it feels like I'm wishing my life away

Chorus

Time passes so slowly

 When you're far away

 This is the last time that

I leave you this way

Time passes so slowly

 When you're far away

 This is the last time that

I leave you this way
