Verse 1

 Joshua smiled, said listen to reason,

 Don't blame me when the walls come tumbling down.

 So I was adrift on the sea of longing,

 awaiting the trumpets to raise your ivory gown.

Chorus

 And if on-ly time will tell,

 Then I can't stand waiting

 While the lights are changing on me.

 Tell it to my own free will.

 If I lost this thorn from my side,

 I think I'd die.

(repeat intro)

Verse 2

(same as Verse 1 in terms of chords)

Albert Camus said, "living is anguish,

but don't dare let those bastards weigh you down."

And if this is so, then I see no reason

for spending the evening doing anything but going downtown.

Chorus

 And if on-ly time will tell,

 Then I can't stand waiting

 While the lights are changing on me.

 Tell it to my own free will.

 If I lost this thorn from my side,

 I'd probably I'd die,

 Most likely die,

 I think I'd die.

(repeat intro and end on G)

Enjoy! =)
