You were waiting by the river Your coat was soaking wet 
            C                E         Am             Fm
And as your arms began to shiver Your mind began to fret.
C                 E                 Am              Fm
Closer came the winter that would take your breath away 
    C              E                    Am              Fm
Closer came the bitter cold that would keep your mind awake

And as  Time began to wander  You stood there for a while
         C                 E        Am            Fm
And as  Your heart grew fonder  He took away your smile 
   C               E                Am                 Fm
Kicking stones  between your shoes  You whistled not a note
C              E              Am            Fm
Time spend disecting  Every song he'd ever wrote
               C              E
And now your  hair is saturated
            Am           Fm   G
And your heart has been invaded 
    C                     E
And now you join the line 
                Am                        C G Fm
Of those who  didn't make their move in time
