Intro
[Bm]x4
Verse 1
The[Bm] time is almost here
That time that’s [G]filled me with [Bm]dread
Kept trying to [G]keep it out of my [Bm]head
But it keeps [A]returning[Asus4] [A]
Verse 2
Like looking [Bm]out on a foggy day
It’s all so [G]shapeless at first [Bm]glance
But when you [G]give your eyes a [Bm]chance
You’ll catch [A]details [Asus4] [A]
Chorus
It’s [D]clearer now
Closer to the [A]time
That you go a[G]way
Not for a [A]crime
Just to [D]serve
And one [A]day
You’ll come back [G]home
Verse 3
You’d [Bm]think it’d be old hat
That we’d be [G]stronger this time [Bm]round
There’d be no sur[G]prises to be [Bm]found
And that we’d be [A]ready[Asus4] [A]
Verse 4
But it’s like we’re [Bm]playing a dangerous game
Only it’s a [G]game that’s absent of [Bm]fun
Where there’s [G]nothing to be [Bm]won
Only your sur[A]vival[Asus4] [A]
Chorus
It’s [D]clearer now
Closer to the [A]time
That you go a[G]way
Not for a [A]crime
Just to [D]serve
And one [A]day
You’ll come back [G]home
Verse 5
If this [Bm]world could be made fair
I could [G]do your time for [Bm]you
[G]Double if they asked me [Bm]to
And I’d do it [A]smiling[Asus4] [A]
Verse 6
Be[Bm]cause when you’re away
Every [G]single day you’re [Bm]gone
It seems the [G]days are twice as [Bm]long
And the nighttimes [A]longer [Asus4] [A]
Chorus
It’s [D]clearer now
Closer to the [A]time
That you go a[G]way
Not for a [A]crime
Just to [D]serve
And one [A]day
You’ll come back [Bm]home
