Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

I open up my eyes to see,

You open up your arms to me.

Lift

 And I can feel from the way you hold me,

That your somewhere else,

 You're leafing through my pages,

 Leaving me up on the shelf

Pre Chorus

How long will this go on,

Before you leave.

Chorus

 We squander invaluable time,

 Drifting on a cloudy sea,

Aimlessly,

 And ponder the nursery rhyme,

 Feeling like/that we might be free,

Thoughtlessly,

Eyes wide open never to see,

No future,

 All we are is history.

Verse2

I open up a heart for sale,

But open up the door as well.

Lift2

And if you leave please just leave,

And don't pretend that it's just you.

I'm finishing this chapter,

So I can start a new.

How long will this go on,

'Till I'm alone.

Chorus2

We squander invaluable time,

Thinking that we hold the key,

Foolishly,

And wander, through life in design,

Dressed up like a Christmas tree,

Shamelessly,

The tragedy, the comedy,

No future,

All we are is history.
