[Verse 1]

       D
Well I spoke with my father
     G
On a notion I'd been told
      D
I was sure that the chalkboard
         G
had much greater to unfold

[Verse 2]

      D
I was looking through the fences
        G
Could I ever fit this mold
          D
And these lines Who would cross them
         G
Save the foolish and the bold


[Chorus]

        D
We were faster than our teachers
         Bm                 G
Couldn't change my point of view
      D
I was bound to turn up missing
       G
Hoping I'd be found in you

[Verse 3]
      D
I was captured in a moment
        G
Fairest I had ever seen
       D
All my searching all my theories
        G
Took an instant to complete


[Chorus]

     D
So I begged you to come with me
       Bm            G
What a lovely day to waste
       D
For if only you'd consider
         G
It would be my greatest escape
           D
Just for a while
              G
Oh just for a while
           D
Just for a while
              G
Oh just for a while


[Bridge]

D                 G
Oh oh-o-oh-o-oh-o-oh

D                 G
Oh oh-o-oh-o-oh-o-oh


[Verse 4]
        D
In your canopy of freedom
    Bm              G
You paraded past my heart
         D
When you begged me to consider
         G
Knew I'd love to from the start


[Chorus]

        D
We were faster than our teachers
         Bm                 G
Couldn't change my point of view
      D
I was bound to turn up missing
       G
Hoping I'd be found in you


[Outro]

           D
Just for a while
              G
Oh just for a while
           D
Just for a while
              G
Oh just for a while
           D
Just for a while
